  • Higher monthly household income, more frequent internet use, better adherence to mask use, and being a non-smoker were associated with reported uptake of digital proximity tracing apps in Sweden (n=1,511). In a randomly selected subsample (n=711) with more detailed information, higher levels of trust in government and health authorities were associated with app uptake. Most frequent reasons for not using the app were lack of perceived benefit (36.8%), app incompatible with phone (22.8%), and privacy concerns (22.4%).
