Abstract: The global pandemic is still on a high to all countries including the Philippines and despite the government-imposed protocols, individuals especially early adolescents will go out of their homes without valid reason. This research aims to identify and correlate factors (Perceived Vulnerability, Perceived Severity, Attitude, Understanding of COVID-19, Subjective Norm) that affect the early compliance with the protocols. The research was narrowed down into those residing in Quezon City. Using the theory of rogers, and the of Ahzen, the researchers aim to bring out the reasons why adolescents still go out during the pandemic. The study utilized a quantitative approach, utilizing a five-point Likert scaling with five questions per factor. Findings show that (1) early adolescents residing in Quezon City have a high intent to follow government-imposed protocols, (2) all five factors were seen to have a significant influence with the intent to follow, and (3) the factor-to-factor relationship shows significant correlation however their strengths vary. The findings reflect some of the preceding studies while giving way to new knowledge as this study's population tackles about early adolescents. This paves way to encouraging early adolescents into following prevention measures by tapping into factors that create a significant influence on their perception and compliance about such protocols.
