Health Behaviors during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Report Series

Background

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. Following the rapid spread of the virus, the Ministry of Health in Israel, as in many other countries, issued increasingly strict directives severely restricting movement outside of the home, including the closure of educational institutions, the cancellation of group recreational activities, and the requirement for many employees around the country to work from home.

Study Goal

The study goal was to examine the impact of these directives on health behaviors among the adult population aged 20-64 and report on the consequent needs arising from the isolation and prolonged confinement at home.

Study Method

The study was based on a panel survey of 1,500 Jewish residents of Israel, aged 20-64. The survey was conducted from March 26-29, 2020.
