COVID-19 preventive behaviors among people with anxiety and depression: Findings from Japan	2020-06-20		.txt	text/plain	2012	115	48	This study used cross-sectional online survey data from 2000 Japanese adults collected in April and May, 2020, to examine the association between anxiety and depression and COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Results from logistic regression analyses showed that both anxiety and depression were associated with lower odds for engaging in preventive behaviors such as wearing a face mask and hand washing. Against this backdrop, the current study will examine the effects of anxiety and depression on COVID-19 preventive behaviors in a sample of the Japanese general population. This study used data from 2000 Japanese adults collected in April and May 2020 to examine the association between mental health status and COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Until now there has been little focus on the association between mental health and protective behaviors pertaining to the prevention of infectious disease although our results agree in part with those from a recent study from China, which showed that depressive symptoms may inhibit preventive behaviors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (Liu et al., 2020) .	./cache/cord-325309-c9zuh7xs.txt	./txt/cord-325309-c9zuh7xs.txt
