Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar, individual differences in personality, risk perception, and personal hygiene practices were found to have significant effects on social distancing behaviors.

Summary: Older adults living in social housing face challenges with health literacy and chronic disease self-management. This study found that those with chronic diseases had greater knowledge about their conditions, and individuals who were better able to handle personal crises and had intention to make change had greater self-efficacy to change health behaviors.

Morenike O. Folayan et al.

Summary: This study found that factors associated with COVID-19 test status in sub-Saharan Africa include knowing a close friend who tested positive for COVID-19, knowing someone who died from COVID-19, and co-habiting with others.

Irfan Ahmad Rana et al.

Summary: This study examined gender differences in COVID-19 risk perception and coping mechanisms in Pakistan, finding significant variations between male and female participants.
