Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Assessment on COVID-19

To understand communities’ knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP), along with their information needs on COVID-19, this KAP assessment was conducted by the Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS), with support from IFRC, under the Community Based Migration Programme (CBMP) from 20 July to 12 August 2020. The assessment has been conducted via TRCS’ social media platforms, phone interviews and online consultations/focus group discussions (FGDs) with refugees and local people in 16 TRCS Community Centre locations. Comprising both qualitative and quantitative data, a total of 3,840 individuals have been interviewed over the phone in 16 Community Centre locations, with a total of 320 refugees and local people participating in 32 FGDs. The findings of the assessment are intended to inform understanding of community perceptions of, and knowledge about, COVID-19 and, in turn, shape risk communication, behaviour change and community engagement activities.
