Measuring Public Concern About COVID-19 in Japanese Internet Users Through Search Queries: Infodemiological Study

Measuring Public Concern About COVID-19 in Japanese Internet Users Through Search Queries: Infodemiological Study

This study joins a growing body of literature that uses web-based search queries to track public health (eg, Murayama et al [32]), and the LCIPP adds the dimension of using prefecture-level infection rates to control for expected outcomes. Therefore, this study was able to effectively quantify public concern at a deeper level, which we propose is explained by the collectivistic psychological tendencies of a society. We note the limitations of our approach.
