Being male, living in a rural area, having a low educational standing, and being a farmer were related to limited knowledge, negative attitude, and poor practice toward COVID-19. Furthermore, having little understanding was linked with poor practice toward COVID-19. As a result, the focus should be on convicts, creating awareness, and addressing specific socioeconomic features of prisoners, as well as boosting COVID-19 preventive activities that should get attention in the prison.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2023.26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]],"date-time":"2023-03-23T05:54:12Z","timestamp":1679550852000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Related to COVID-19 and Its Determinants Among Prisoners, Southern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3400-972X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sisay","family":"Moges","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bereket Abrham","family":"Lajore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9788-9122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dejene Ermias","family":"Mekango","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tekle Ejajo","family":"Wontamo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Desta","family":"Erkalo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abinet Arega","family":"Sadore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lolemo Kelbiso","family":"Hanfore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Habtamu","family":"Tamrat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1935789323000265_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/IDR.S282792"},{"key":"S1935789323000265_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.23954\/osj.v5i4.2610"},{"key":"S1935789323000265_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.32553\/ijmsdr.v4i12.722"},{"key":"S1935789323000265_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0255884"},{"key":"S1935789323000265_ref20","unstructured":"20.
