Abstract

Aims: Throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the role of Students in transmitting the infection has received special attention aiming at protecting the younger generation against COVID-19 and other known respiratory diseases. This research aimed to specify factors related to COVID-19 preventing behaviors in high school Students. Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2852 Students aged 13 to 18 in Hamadan in 2020. Participants were selected using the multistage cluster sampling method. The data were collected with a researcher-made EPPM questionnaire. Data were analyzed statistically by Stata 14. 2 software using the Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Findings: The vast majority of Students (67. 02%) were in the danger control response phase. The response efficacy (77. 3%) and perceived efficacy (75. 3%) had the highest percentage of the mean from the maximum obtainable score among constructs of the model. There was a significant difference between categories of the EPPM model with doing healthy behaviors. Moreover, the proportion of doing Health Behaviors was significantly higher in Students in the danger control phase. Conclusion: The predominance of the perceived threat of COVID-19 on the perceived efficacy affects preventive Health Behaviors. Therefore, a theory-based behavioral modification program can be developed based on gender among high school Students. Higher grade Students and poor socioeconomic status require intense educational interventions to modify their hygienic behaviors.
