Health education through music video plays a vital role in raising a person's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors positively connected to health during COVID-19 pandemic.
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of COVID-19-related music-video-watching and examine associated factors among the Vietnamese population.
A cross-sectional study in Vietnam was conducted in February 2021 via the Internet.
Among 658 participants, the prevalence of COVID-19-related music-video-watching was 89.1% among people. In the multivariable regression models, significant factors for COVID-19-related music-video-watching were living area, types of housemate, age groups, and current occupation.
Lessons on health education to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam could be useful for similar settings in the world.
