We used two generalised linear models with ordered logistic regression to analyse panel data comprising 82,052 observations from 11 waves of ECOS. Our aim was to investigate self-reported risk perception related to COVID-19 and its association with socioeconomic factors, health indicators, personal experiences with COVID-19 and trust in risk communication. We examined perceived susceptibility to SAR-CoV-2 infection and perceived risk to one\u2019s own health from COVID-19, interpreting these as dimensions of risk perception in accordance with the health belief model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women perceived higher susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection than men. Regardless of gender, perceived susceptibility increased with age, peaking in the 35\u201344 age group before declining. In contrast, perceived risk to health consistently rose with age. Individuals who did not experience financial difficulties during the pandemic perceived lower health risk than those who did experience such difficulties. Moreover, individuals with higher education levels perceived greater susceptibility than those with lower levels. Other influencing factors included SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status, trust in information, attention to COVID-19 news and pandemic phase.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Several socio-economic factors were associated with risk perceptions.
