6. Behavioural compliance is a derived measure of compliance based on how soon an individual started to self-isolate after being advised to do so, whether or not they left their home/accommodation during this period and how long they were able to self-isolate for. A participant who complied with all of these measures is described as 'fully compliant'. Someone who complied with some, but not all, is described as partially compliant and a participant who did not comply with any is described as non-compliant.
