摘要:

COVID-19的迅速传播影响了全国各地不同社会人口群体的数千人。预防或减缓疫情的决定性步骤是采取行动干预措施,如政府的居家令。然而,不同的社会人口群体可能对这些命令和条例有不同的反应。在本文中,我们试图通过研究不同年龄组的不同社区如何按照3月13日的国家紧急状态宣言等命令执行社交距离,以及在实施规定后他们开始改变行为的速度,来填补目前文献中的空白。为此,我们通过使用匿名和隐私保护的移动终端数据,计算了不同年龄组人群在不同流动性指标下的行为变化,例如与大流行前几天(2020年1月和2月)相比,研究期间(2020年3月、4月和5月)待在家里的人的百分比。我们的研究表明,老年社区在行为改变方面优于年轻社区。与年轻社区相比,老年社区不仅对疫情的反应更快,而且在大流行期间表现更稳定。

英文摘要:

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has affected thousands of people from different socio-demographic groups all over the country. A decisive step in preventing or slowing the outbreak is the use of mobility interventions, such as government stay-at-home orders. However, different socio-demographic groups might have different responses to these orders and regulations. In this paper, we attempt to fill the current gap in the literature by examining how different communities with different age groups performed social distancing by following orders such as the national emergency declaration on March 13, as well as how fast they started changing their behavior after the regulations were imposed. For this purpose, we calculated the behavior changes of people in different mobility metrics, such as percentage of people staying home during the study period (March, April, and May 2020), in different age groups in comparison to the days before the pandemic (January and February 2020), by utilizing anonymized and privacy-protected mobile device data. Our study indicates that senior communities outperformed younger communities in terms of their behavior change. Senior communities not only had a faster response to the outbreak in comparison to young communities, they also had better performance consistency during the pandemic.
