ABSTRACT
The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic posed numerous challenges not only to economic and health infrastructure but also to harm to the mental health of individuals. Literature suggests that environmental disasters cause fear and uncertainty among individuals. Panic buying is one of the responses exacerbated during the disaster characterized by an unexpected and rapid increase in excessive consumption. Health literacy emerged as a broader field in order to promote and process basic health information and take necessary steps to reduce health disparities. This chapter explains the association between panic buying and health literacy and how health literacy can affect it. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
