COVID-19: Moderating role of perceived efficacy of prevention measures in the mental health prediction

SPSS data (cross-sectional) of a research about the moderating role of the perceived efficacy of COVID-19 preventive measures on the link between perceived risk and mental health (stress and depression) are provided. Perceived efficacy acted as a protective factor for stress and depression by decreasing the negative impact that perceived risk has on both variables related to mental distress, i.e. stress and depression.
