Resumen	The Health Protective Behavior Scale (HPBS) assesses self-reported engagement in preventive behaviors during infectious disease outbreaks, including hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, isolation, and vaccination. Developed from literature review and behavioral theory by Bish and Michie, and refined through implementation research by Conner and colleagues, it measures adherence to public health guidance. The HPBS is widely used in pandemic surveillance research and behavioral intervention trials to track population adoption of protective measures.	The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) is a 7-item, self-report instrument assessing fear of COVID-19 infection across cognitive, emotional, and physiological domains. Developed by Ahorsu and colleagues in 2020, it measures threat perception, anxiety symptoms triggered by disease-related triggers, and avoidance behaviors. The FCV-19S has been translated into over 40 languages and validated across diverse populations, making it the most widely used pandemic-specific fear measure globally.
