description: &lt;h1&gt;COVID-19 Behavior Determinants Database&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;COVID-19 Behavior Determinants Database&lt;/b&gt; is a research project that examined the sociodemographic and psychological determinants of COVID-19 related attitudes and behaviors. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
A comprehensive web-based survey was administered in adults ages 18 or older from:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;United States of America (n = 5326)&lt;/b&gt;, including the four most populous states, specifically &lt;b&gt;New York&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;California&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Florida&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;Texas&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canada (n = 2744)&lt;/b&gt;, including all provinces, except Quebec. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
The survey was collected at three timepoints, in &lt;b&gt;May 2020&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;July 2020&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;March 2021&lt;/b&gt;.
