Repeated cross-sectional data collection was conducted during two waves over a period of three weeks (N1 = 888; N2 = 966). The first began on the day of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Croatia (February 24th, 2020) and the second wave began three weeks later, on the day the first COVID-19 fatality was recorded in Croatia (March 19th, 2020). Participants completed an online questionnaire regarding various COVID-19 concerns and safety behaviours aimed at disease prevention (information seeking, avoidance and hygiene) and a measure of cyberchondria (Short Cyberchondria Scale, SCS). 2020-02-242020-03-012020-03-192020-03-25 Individual General population of the republic of Croatia Numeric Longitudinal: Trend/Repeated cross-section snowball method Self-administered questionnaire: Web-based (CAWI) Structured questionnaire Jokić-Begić, N., Lauri Korajlija, A., Mikac, U.
