Objective: A small percentage of universities and colleges conducted mass SARS-CoV-2 testing. However, universal testing is resource-intensive, strains national testing capacity, and false negative tests can encourage unsafe behaviors. Participants: A large urban university campus. Methods: Virus control centered on three pillars: mitigation,…

Objective: Participating in an escape room is not just an entertainment but can also be a form of education. Because of this, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Project Firstline (PFL) created an escape room interactive training tool and skills-building exercise to encourage the identification and use of key infection control principles…

Courtemanche, Charles J.; Le, Anh H.; Yelowitz, Aaron; Zimmer, Ron – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
This paper examines the effect of fall 2020 school reopenings in Texas on county-level COVID-19 cases and fatalities. Previous evidence suggests that schools can be reopened safely if community spread is low and public health guidelines are followed. However, in Texas, reopenings often occurred alongside high community spread and at near capacity,…

Sullivan, Jessica; Tillman, Katharine; Shtulman, Andrew – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced children to reckon with the causal relations underlying disease transmission. What are children's theories of how COVID-19 is transmitted? And how do they understand the relation between COVID-19 susceptibility and the need for disease-mitigating behavior? We asked these questions in the context of children's…

Julia G. Halilova; Samuel Fynes-Clinton; Donna Rose Addis; R. Shayna Rosenbaum – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
Research suggests that discounting of delayed rewards (i.e., tendency to choose smaller immediate rewards over large later rewards) is a promising target of intervention to encourage compliance with public health measures (PHM), such as vaccination compliance. The effects of delay discounting, however, may differ across the types of PHMs, given…

Minhee Choi; Nicole O'Donnell; Won-Ki Moon – Health Education & Behavior, 2024
This study examines attenuated risk responses among individuals who do not adhere to preventive COVID-19 measures (e.g., antimaskers). Guided by the Social Amplification of Risk Model, a survey (N = 373) of nonabiding populations showed that news media use was positively associated with risk perceptions, information seeking and sharing, and…

Wehmanen, Kyle W.; Cottet-Puinel, Felix E.; Hampton, Tyler C.; Hamlin, Gwyn T.; Wedig, Isaac J.; Elmer, Steven J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
We developed a hands-on activity using the game Jenga to demonstrate the links between health behaviors, chronic and infectious diseases, and community well-being and resilience. For the activity, K-12 students worked together in small teams (4-8 students) and were given two Jenga towers ("tower A" and "tower B"), each…

Mohammadi, Samira; Ramezankhani, Ali; Montazeri, Ali; Nasrollahi, Akbar; Keshavarz Mohammadi, Nastaran – Health Education, 2021
Purpose: Health-related issues are widely covered in news agencies by medical and health journalists. The quantity, format and quality of their coverage influence the general public as well as policymakers and professions. Current studies and observations suggest that news agencies are more dominated by medical topics (disease, symptoms,…

Cynthia F. DiCarlo; Katie E. Cherry; Margaret-Mary Sulentic Dowell; Loren D. Marks – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2024
Background: In March 2020, the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in lockdowns of schools and businesses alike across the United States. For working parents of preschool age children, the forced closure of child care centers created a unique situation where parents suddenly become the major source of daily care and education…

McCreavy, Claire J.; Piccoli, Elizabeth; Krier, Sarah E.; Felter, Elizabeth M.; van Panhuis, Willem G. – American Journal of Health Education, 2021
Background: With the introduction of face mask orders to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the general public may have turned to their state government or health department's website to find information on face coverings. Purpose: This study seeks to evaluate the readability, suitability, and content of masking guidance on state government or state…

Xiang, Lin; Diamond, Scott – Science Teacher, 2022
Over the past year, educators have developed curricula teaching about the COVID-19 pandemic (Reed 2020; Royce 2020; Sadler et al. 2020). Many of these curricula feature computer simulations of epidemic dynamics (Kelter 2020; Sadler et al. 2020). Because an epidemic pattern is an emergent property of interacting human behaviors, it is crucial for…

Weil, Audrey M.; Wolfe, Christopher R. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by misinformation, politicization of public health, and extreme differences in risk assessment. In two studies, we sought to understand factors that contribute to differences in people's understanding of the virus and associated risks. We found that conservative participants reported higher levels of…
