摘要

为了限制COVID-19病毒的传播,许多雇主和机构为检测呈阳性的人制定了程序。我们认为这些程序可能阻止了人们进行测试。在1142名参与者(452名大学生,690名非学生)的样本中,我们检查了检测COVID-19的决定。在我们的样本中,超过30%的人选择放弃对COVID-19的检测,尽管他们有症状。参与者最常支持其决定的实际原因(例如,不相信自己感染了COVID-19,觉得自己的症状太轻微,不值得进行检测)。然而,进一步的分析表明,测试成本强烈地预测了他们的选择。这些成本包括失去收入,不得不搬离住所,在学生中,失去获得膳食计划的机会。研究结果表明,控制COVID-19传播的努力可能包括阻止人们进行检测的成本。

Information avoidance and testing for COVID-19
To limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, many employers and institutions developed procedures for people who tested positive. We propose that these procedures may have dissuaded people from testing. In a sample of 1142 participants (452 university students, 690 non-students) we examined the decision to test for COVID-19. More than 30% of our sample opted to forego testing for COVID-19 despite having symptoms. Participants most frequently endorsed practical reasons for their decision (e.g., did not believe they had COVID-19, felt their symptoms were too mild to warrant testing). However, further analysis revealed that the cost of testing strongly predicted their choice. Such costs included losing income, having to move from one's residence, and among students, losing access to a meal plan. The findings suggest efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 can include costs that discourage people from testing.
