Acceptability of app-based contact tracing for COVID-19: Cross-country survey evidence 2020-05-08 .txt text/plain 15978 1025 63 In light of the many open questions surrounding the viability of app-based contact tracing, we designed a survey to measure public support for this approach in five countries that are currently hit by the COVID-19 pandemic: France, Germany, Italy, the UK and the US. We use multivariate regression analysis (linear probability models; probit and ordered logit in additional analyses presented in the Multimedia Appendix) to examine the relationship between intention to install and a number of covariates: age, gender, country, presence of comorbidities (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or breathing problems), usage of mobile phone outside the house, frequency of social interactions, ability to work from home during the lockdown, ability to obtain sick pay while working from home, trust in national government, and incidence of COVID-19 deaths in a respondent's region of residence (see Section C.3 in the Multimedia Appendix for more details). ./cache/cord-307184-ccmnkl0e.txt ./txt/cord-307184-ccmnkl0e.txt
