A rapidly progressing epidemic of COVID\u201019 ensued within China, with multiple exportations to other countries. We aimed to measure perceptions and responses towards COVID\u201019 in three countries to understand how population\u2010level anxiety can be mitigated in the early phases of a pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Between February and March 2020, we conducted online surveys in Singapore, China and Italy with a total of 4505 respondents to measure respondents\u2019 knowledge, perceptions, anxiety and behaviours towards the COVID\u201019 epidemic, and identified factors associated with lower anxiety and more positive behavioural responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Respondents reported high awareness of COVID\u201019 and its accompanying symptoms, comparable information\u2010seeking habits and similarly high levels of information sufficiency, adherence to and acceptance of public health control measures. Higher self\u2010efficacy was associated with lower anxiety levels in all three countries, while willingness to comply with restrictive measures and greater information sufficiency were associated with more positive behavioural changes to reduce spread of infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Population\u2010level anxiety and behavioural responses to an outbreak can be influenced by information provided. This should be used to inform future outbreak preparedness plans, taking into account the importance of increasing population\u2010level self\u2010efficacy and information sufficiency to reduce anxiety and promote positive behavioural changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/irv.12785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,5]],"date-time":"2020-09-05T09:13:09Z","timestamp":1599297189000},"page":"45-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Population anxiety and positive behaviour change during the COVID\u201019 epidemic: Cross\u2010sectional surveys in Singapore, China and Italy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9017-4714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane M.","family":"Lim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zaw Myo","family":"Tun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishakha","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon Esi Duoduwa","family":"Quaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vittoria","family":"Offeddu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex R.","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"May Oo","family":"Lwin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information Nanyang Technological University Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaohai","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communications and New Media National University of Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1697-286X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clarence C.","family":"Tam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health National University of Singapore and National University Health System Singapore"},{"name":"London School of Hygiene &amp;
