Abstract

This study aimed to establish consensus on psychosocial indicators influencing COVID-19 preventive behaviors in Arab countries. Using a scoping review and a three-round Delphi approach with 19 experts from nine Arab countries, five robust social indicators (Belief System, Income Status, Family Commitment, Faith, Kinship System) and four psychological indicators (Self-Efficacy, Perception of Hazard, Motivation, Stigma) were identified. These indicators offer a strong foundation for redesigning pandemic control interventions.
