Scientists at one of Scotland s leading universities have been researching how well people in Scotland have adopted Covid-19 preventative behaviours - and made some interesting discoveries. The results from the University of Aberdeen research shows that while the majority of Scots are following the government-issued guidance on Covid-19 - such as FACTS - women are better than men, and young people, at following the rules. During this stage of the project, the team from the University’s Institute of Applied Health Sciences have focussed on adherence - looking at how well people are sticking to the rules and identifying if there are groups of people who may be less likely to comply.
