This descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study determined preventive behaviors for COVID-19 among medical students using an integrated social cognition model and identified influencing factors. The study of 650 medical students with a mean age of 24. 37 +/- 3. 78 years showed that the total scores of the integrated social cognition model and COVID-19 prevention behaviors were at the medium level, 85. 44 +/- 8. 70 out of 155 and 10. 78 +/- 1. 99 out of 20 scores, respectively. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis showed that the variables of marital status (β=-1. 95 [CI95%=-3. 36 to -0. 53], P = 0. 007), maternal literacy (β = 2. 59 [CI95%=0. 96 to 4. 21], P = 0. 002), paternal literacy (β = 2. 47 [CI95%=0. 89 to 4. 04], P = 0. 002), place of residence (β = 3. 46 [CI95%=2. 14 to 4. 79], P =
