ABSTRACT=<sec><title>Introduction</title><p>The protection of children is a major driver of behavior among those in charge of their care. We evaluated whether compliance with preventive measures against SARS-CoV-2 infection among adults living with children was different from that of those not living with them, in 2020.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>We used the COSMO-SPAIN (<italic>N</italic> = 867) and the nationally representative ENE-COVID (<italic>N</italic> = 29,926) surveys to estimate prevalence of compliance (95% confidence interval). Logistic model based standardization methods were applied to estimate standardized prevalence differences (SPrD) to the overall distribution of age, sex, education, history of COVID-19, and residence of other &gt;60 yrs in the household.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>We observed that adults living with children more frequently avoided bars (SPrD<sub>ENE−COVID</sub>: 4.2%; 95% CI: 2.3–6.1), crowded places (SPrD<sub>COSMO</sub>: 8.0%; 95% CI: 0.6–15.1) and did not use public transportation (SPrD<sub>ENE−COVID</sub>: 4.9%; 95% CI: 3.0–6.7). They were also more worried about work and family conciliation (SPrD<sub>COSMO</sub>: 12.2%; 95% CI: 4.8–19.5) and about closure of education centers (SPrD<sub>COSMO</sub>: 26.5%; 95% CI: 19.4–33.6).</p></sec><sec><title>Discussion</title><p>In general, adults living with children adopted slightly more frequently social distancing measures.</p></sec>
