Data from: Protecting great apes from disease: compliance with measures to reduce anthroponotic disease transmission

Based on an international sample of past (N=420) and potential future
visitors (N=569) to wild great ape tourism sites in Africa, we used an
online questionnaire to characterise visitors’ practices, assess
expectations (e.g., about proximity to great apes) and identify key
factors related to potential compliance with disease mitigation measures.
This was implemented adapting a framework from health literature (the
Health Belief Model; HBM), particularly focused on reducing COVID-19
transmission at an early stage of the pandemic.
