Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:One limitation of our study was the sampling techniques. As we had to rely on the authors’ network for recruiting participants for phone survey, it suffered selection bias and we could not obtain a nationally representative sample for adult population. However, as we obtained good number of participants from each sociodemographic category and adjusted the dataset to national census data, this issue should be less problematic, and our population-level estimates should be fairly representative. The second limitation worth mentioning is that we merely assessed the knowledge level of preventive practices. Thus, the knowledge level found for the preventive practice section does not necessarily reflect the actual physical behavior adopting those preventive practices. It is reasonable to argue that the proportion of the population adopting those preventive practices could be less. For example, our population level estimates showed that 98% of the population know the information that “washing hands frequently and thoroughly with soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizers reduces the risk of being infected by the virus”. But in practice, proportion of the population washing hands more frequently could be less. A third limitation was that we could not quantify the financial condition of the participants with any formal scale to limit the phone call duration. Therefore, we had to rely on the “self-reported” financial condition.
