We conducted an online survey of American adults to assess similarities and differences by race and ethnicity with respect to COVID-19 symptoms, estimates of the extent of the pandemic, knowledge of control measures, and stigma. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe similarities and differences in COVID-19 symptoms, knowledge, and beliefs by race and ethnicity among adults in the United States. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from March 27, 2020 through April 1, 2020. Participants were recruited on social media platforms and completed the survey on a secure web-based survey platform. We used chi-square tests to compare characteristics related to COVID-19 by race and ethnicity. Statistical tests were corrected using the Holm Bonferroni correction to account for multiple comparisons. Results: A total of 1435 participants completed the survey; 52 (3.6{\%}) were Asian, 158 (11.0{\%}) were non-Hispanic Black, 548 (38.2{\%}) were Hispanic, 587 (40.9{\%}) were non-Hispanic White, and 90 (6.3{\%}) identified as other or multiple races. Only one symptom (sore throat) was found to be different based on race and ethnicity (P=.003); this symptom was less frequently reported by Asian (3/52, 5.8{\%}), non-Hispanic Black (9/158, 5.7{\%}), and other/multiple race (8/90, 8.9{\%}) participants compared to those who were Hispanic (99/548, 18.1{\%}) or non-Hispanic White (95/587, 16.2{\%}). Non-Hispanic White and Asian participants were more likely to estimate that the number of current cases was at least 100,000 (P=.004) and were more likely to answer all 14 COVID-19 knowledge scale questions correctly (Asian participants, 13/52, 25.0{\%}; non-Hispanic White participants, 180/587, 30.7{\%}) compared to Hispanic (108/548, 19.7{\%}) and non-Hispanic Black (25/158, 15.8{\%}) participants. Conclusions: We observed differences with respect to knowledge of appropriate methods to prevent infection by the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Deficits in knowledge of proper control methods may further exacerbate existing race/ethnicity disparities. Additional research is needed to identify trusted sources of information in Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black communities and create effective messaging to disseminate correct COVID-19 prevention and treatment information.
