This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the role of information and information resources in the awareness, control, and prevention of COVID-19. This study was a descriptive-analytical survey in which 450 participants were selected for the study. The data collection instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data through SPSS. The findings show that a wide range of mass media has become well known as information resources for COVID-19. Other findings indicate a significant statistical difference in the rate of using information resources during COVID-19 based on age and gender; however, this difference is not significant regarding the reliability of information resources with regard to age and gender. Health information has an undisputable role in the prevention and control of pandemic diseases such as COVID-19. Providing accurate, reliable, and evidence-based information in a timely manner for the use of resources and information channels related to COVID-19 can be a fast and low-cost strategic approach in confronting this disease.

进行这项研究的目的是评估信息和信息资源在认知，控制和预防COVID-19中的作用。这项研究是描述性分析性调查，其中选择了450名参与者。数据收集工具是研究人员制作的问卷。描述性和推断性统计用于通过SPSS分析数据。研究结果表明，广泛的大众媒体已成为众所周知的COVID-19信息资源。其他发现表明，在COVID-19期间，基于年龄和性别的信息资源使用率存在显着的统计学差异；但是，就年龄和性别而言，信息资源的可靠性差异并不明显。健康信息在预防和控制大流行性疾病（例如COVID-19）中具有无可争议的作用。及时提供准确，可靠和基于证据的信息，以使用与COVID-19相关的资源和信息渠道可能是应对这种疾病的快速且低成本的战略方法。
