Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations of the online survey cannot be ruled out in our study. Due to limited access to the internet, old age and rural people who have been more likely to have poor KAP were not included in the study. Selection bias may be significant if those of poor level KAP people appear to have less participation. In fact, KAP for vulnerable populations deserves special research attention. Moreover, there is a risk of bias due to online data collection. Ethical challenge is a fact in the cross-cultural study (Durham, 2014). However, we have mitigated the challenge for this study by maintaining some measures, such as (1) collecting informed consent before participating in the survey, (2) depersonalizing responders and (3) ensuring confidentiality for better personal security measure like other surveys in public health (Survey to Identify the Public Health Ethics Needs of Public Health Practitioners in Canada: Preliminary Results, n.d.). Despite having those limitations, the cross-cultural nature is the main strength of this study. It’s difficult to compare this study to other similar kinds of studies. To our knowledge, no study measured the cross-cultural value of KAP and fear of COVID-19. Therefore, the result of this study is a novel contribution in the scientific literature. This study imposes a chance to evaluate the relationship between KAP and infection numbers among the population in a different continent. A representative from several professions and all ages made the study m...
