Abstract

COVID-19 has significantly altered daily activities worldwide, necessitating adherence to preventive measures to mitigate its spread. However, adherence remains low in many communities, including Liberia. This study investigates the role of knowledge and attitude as predictors of adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures among teachers in Paynesville, Liberia. Using a cross-sectional design, data was collected through self-reported questionnaires from 188 teachers across 15 schools in Paynesville. Results reveal significant relationships between knowledge, attitude, and adherence, indicating that both factors predict preventive behavior. Recommendations for improving adherence through public health campaigns and education are discussed.
