COVID-19 containment behaviors (CCBs) remain important methods for reducing contagion. Theoretical frameworks to understand engagement in health-risk behaviors among young people may help identify individuals with elevated risk for non-adherence to CCBs. We aimed to elucidate individual differences in CCBs by evaluating if CCBs fit into an established health-risk behavior framework. Using a cross-sectional sample of 1374 young adults, we examined CCBs’ associations with personality antecedents to health-risk behaviors and to actual engagement in other health-risk behaviors. Results identified risk seeking, negative urgency, lack of premeditation, and extraversion as risk factors for less CCB adherence, while agreeableness and neuroticism were protective factors. Less CCB adherence was positively associated with binge drinking, more sexual partners, and risky driving, while negatively associated with purging and self-injury. Results suggest CCBs may be understood as a type of health-risk behavior and can contribute to the development of strategies for increasing public health guideline adherence.

COVID-19 遏制行为 (CCB) 仍然是减少传染的重要方法。了解年轻人参与健康风险行为的理论框架可能有助于识别不遵守 CCB 风险较高的个人。我们旨在通过评估 CCB 是否符合既定的健康风险行为框架来阐明 CCB 的个体差异。我们使用 1374 名年轻人的横断面样本，研究了 CCB 与健康风险行为的人格前因以及其他健康风险行为的实际参与之间的关联。结果表明，寻求风险、消极紧迫感、缺乏预谋和外向性是降低 CCB 依从性的危险因素，而宜人性和神经质是保护因素。较少的 CCB 依从性与酗酒、更多的性伴侣、和冒险驾驶，而与净化和自伤负相关。结果表明，CCB 可能被理解为一种健康风险行为，有助于制定提高公共卫生指南依从性的策略。
