The KAP COVID Dashboard developed by Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) presents data from a global survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices around COVID-19. For the next five weeks, relevant data from the dashboard specific to Breakthrough ACTION will be highlighted. This information can be used by public health professionals and policymakers to design programs, promote messages, and help focus their behavior change efforts.
This first set of data focuses on TRUST. For each country below, you’ll see the outlets, channels, and individuals that garner the most trust among survey participants. Please feel free to share within your social networks and/or adapt the posts below to your country context by finding your country’s data on the dashboard.
These findings come from global COVID-19 behavior surveys conducted in July 2020 in 67 countries from more than 300,000 people who chose to participate in a survey promoted on Facebook. Researchers from MIT collected the data and CCP analyzed and presented the data on an easy-to-use dashboard. This study of knowledge, attitudes, and practices around COVID-19 is a collaboration among CCP, Facebook Data for Good, and MIT. The World Health Organization and Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network served as advisors.
