Thakkar, Pavan V.; Zimmerman, Kanecia O.; Benjamin, Daniel K.; Kalu, Ibukunoluwa C. – Journal of School Health, 2022
Background: School closures were initially believed to mitigate SARS-CoV-2, but instead may have had a limited role in reducing community SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We describe a single school's experience with in-person education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: From August 17, 2020 through January 23, 2021, we conducted a prospective study…

James Nicholson; Jim Ridgway – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2024
We explore ways in which statistics can be used to understand disease spread and support decision-making by governments. "Past performance does not guarantee future results"--we hope. We discuss and show examples from the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded COVID-Inspired Data Science Education through Epidemiology (CIDSEE) project.…

Luka Viera – Journal of School Health, 2024
BACKGROUND: The emergence of COVID-19 resulted in a substantial loss of education because of global school closures. Face masks are a potential measure to restrain the COVID-19 spread; therefore, this paper evaluated the effectiveness of face masks in reducing COVID-19 incidence in school settings. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted by…

Nicholas Mallis; Cody Dailey; Sophia Drewry; Nina Howard; José F. Cordero; Michael Welton – Journal of American College Health, 2024
In the summer of 2020, SARS-CoV-2 infection rates among the U.S. population aged 20-39 years exceeded other age groups, with the largest increases occurring in the southern US. As many colleges reopened for in-person instruction in August and September, these trends continued among campuses across the country. Our study aimed to identify risk…

Minchul Kang – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Since the introduction by Kermack and McKendrick in 1927, the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model has been a foundational model to comprehend and predict the dynamics of infectious diseases. Almost for a century, the SIR model has been modified and extended to meet the needs of different characteristics of various infectious…

Yinka Olusoga – Global Studies of Childhood, 2024
This paper applies a posthumanist lens, informed by the work of Hollett and Ehret and of Ingold, to consider children's playful affective entanglements with the human and the more-than-human during fluctuating periods of social distancing in the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this refracting theoretical lens, I (re)examine a selection of play and…
