abstract = {This study aimed to survey college students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19
and identify underlying demographic factors that influence them. A cross-sectional quick online
survey of 243 students mostly women (66.7%) was carried out between May 1 to May 8, 2020. Results
show that 85.5%-86% of the students relied on the internet, social, and mass media as their primary
sources of information on the COVID-19 pandemic. 49.9% of the student participants have optimal
knowledge of COVID-19 with a 78.5% overall correct response rate on the knowledge test. 97.1% are
aware of disease prevention and control measures but only 49.8%are knowledgeable about the
disease transmission routes. Participants also hold a very high positive outlook on health and safety
protocols and a higher level of practice towards disease prevention. Multiple regression analyses
revealed that age and ability to spot fake news are significantly associatedwith higher levels of
knowledge, attitudes, and practices.},
