Respondents with 3 or more medical risk factors perceived a 42% chance of hospitalization if infected with SARS-CoV-2 compared to an 18% perceived chance among those without medical risk factors. Perceived chance of hospitalization ranged from 24% among those with high blood pressure to 40% among those with chronic lung disease. Fewer potentially higher risk activities were also undertaken by adults with 3 or more risk factors. Most respondents did not consistently wear masks according to risk of infection. Mask-wearing across risk factor groups was similar except when visiting a grocery store or pharmacy, where mask wearing was more common among those with 3 or more medical risk factors.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schoeni et al.\u00a0(Mar 31, 2021).
