Researchers examine impact of digital information on COVID-19 decisions and behavior

(Virginia Tech) Misra and Wernstedt have received a Rapid Response Research (RAPID) grant from the NSF to conduct a survey among 400 respondents in five metropolitan areas in the United States -- Washington, DC; New York; Chicago; Houston; and Atlanta -- that will track differences in risk perceptions, preferences, and self-reported behaviors within each area and compare them across locations. The study commenced in April, and data will be collected at multiple time points during the remainder of 2020 and through the middle of 2021.
