T8 663-673 Sentence denotes OBJECTIVE:
T9 674-1046 Sentence denotes This study aims to explore how threat and coping appraisal processes work as mechanisms between information and citizens' adherence to COVID-19-related recommendations (ie, how the information sources and social media influence threat and coping appraisal processes with COVID-19 and how the threat and coping appraisal processes influence adherence to policy guidelines).

T15 1690-1698 Sentence denotes RESULTS:
T16 1699-1918 Sentence denotes The seemingly unrelated regression model estimation results suggested that, overall, the intensity of information source use for the COVID-19 pandemic positively influenced the threat appraisal for the disease (P<.001).

T18 2061-2156 Sentence denotes Higher COVID-19 threat appraisal had a positive effect on social distancing adherence (P<.001).

T21 2352-2388 Sentence denotes There were country-level variations.
T22 2389-2720 Sentence denotes Broadly, we found that the United States had better results than South Korea and Kuwait in leveraging the information to threat and coping appraisal to the adherence process, indicating that individuals in countries like the United States and South Korea may be more pragmatic to appraise the situation before making any decisions.
T23 2721-2733 Sentence denotes CONCLUSIONS:
T24 2734-2926 Sentence denotes This study's findings suggest that the mediation of threat and coping strategies are essential, in varying effects, to shape the information and social media strategies for adherence outcomes.
T25 2927-3307 Sentence denotes Accordingly, coordinating public service announcements along with information source outlets such as mainstream media (eg, TV and newspaper) as well as social media (eg, Facebook and Twitter) to inform citizens and, at the same time, deliver balanced messages about the threat and coping appraisal is critical in implementing a staggered social distancing and sheltering strategy.
