Abstract: The present study explores the relationship between COVID-19 knowledge, risk perception and precautionary behaviour among Swedish older adults. The aim of this research was to explore whether COVID-19 knowledge would predict risk perception and precautionary behaviour, and whether risk perception would predict precautionary behaviour. The present study was conducted with a sample of 97 adults (56.7% females and 43.3% males) aged 65 to 78 (M=70.91, SD=3.64).
