Hannah R. Hamilton; Julie Longua Peterson; Tracy DeHart – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Objective: The Theory of Planned Behavior has been applied to COVID-19 protective behaviors, but evidence suggests this theory may be less predictive over time and less valid in individualistic societies. The current study applied this theory among American college students as vaccines became available and added perceived risk. Participants: 242…
