COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception and precautionary behaviour among Nigerians: A moderated mediation approach	2020-05-26		.txt	text/plain	3299	179	45	Finally, it is expected that risk perception will mediate the prediction of precautionary behaviour by COVID-19 knowledge and that this effect will be stronger for female Nigerians than for male Nigerians. They were recruited through a snowball sampling technique via social media posts to complete the online survey on COVID-19 knowledge, perceptions and precautionary behaviour using Google forms website. Our hypothesis of a moderated mediation effect was supported as evidenced by a significant indirect effect of COVID-19 knowledge on precautionary behaviour through risk perception among females {B = 0.22, 95% Consistent with previous findings therefore, we postulated that perception of risk is a pathway through which knowledge and awareness of COVID-19 will influence precautionary behaviour and that this influence may be more for females than for males. We also tested the direct influences of COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception, age and gender on precautionary behaviour.	./cache/cord-303571-ossmgzzn.txt	./txt/cord-303571-ossmgzzn.txt
