Document: OBJECTIVE: The spread of misinformation about COVIDâ€19 severely influences the governments' ability to address the COVIDâ€19 pandemic. This study explores the predictors of accurate beliefs about COVIDâ€19 and its influence on COVIDâ€related policy and behavior. METHODS: Data from an original survey collected by Lucid in July 2020 are used. Ordinary Least Squares regression (OLS) is used to predict accurate beliefs about COVIDâ€19. Ordered logistic regression models are estimated to examine the relationship between COVIDâ€19 knowledge, policy preferences, and health behavior intentions. RESULTS: Ideology and education were found to have a positive effect on knowledge about COVIDâ€19. Moreover, low levels of knowledge about COVIDâ€19 were found to reduce support for mandatory vaccination policy and willingness to get a coronavirus vaccine when available. CONCLUSION: These findings will help policymakers develop communication strategies for the public on the coronavirus vaccination.
