The SEM model fitted well to the data with CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.969 and RMSEA = 0.026. Standardized coefficients indicated two primary features in the model; the first one linking Formal information and hand hygiene and a second linking Informal information and Social distancing ( Figure 2 ). Paths were seen via Formal information trust and Self-efficacy (b = 0.25) and Self-efficacy and hand hygiene (b = 0.23), and via Formal information trust and Understanding (b = 0.36), and Understanding and hand hygiene (b = 0.19) while Understanding and Selfefficacy were independent. These associations formed the first feature. Marginal associations between Worry and hand hygiene and between Self-efficacy and social distancing were seen, but the small standardized coefficients of b = 0.13 suggest that these paths are minor. Susceptibility and Worry were associated, but otherwise were functionally independent, both upstream from formal information trust, and downstream from hand hygiene.
