Lee, Jiyoung; Kang, Dayoung; Lee, Hee Yun; Kim, Ji Won – Health Education Journal, 2023
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the joint effect of two core message elements -- authoritative source and argument strength -- in correction tweets to counter conspiratorial misinformation about the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Design/Method: An online experiment with US residents (N = 404) was conducted in a 2 (authoritative…

Undergraduate-Level Biology Students' Application of Central Dogma to Understand COVID mRNA Vaccines
Download full textSaya Shahoy; Michelle Du; Ola Mostafa; Aliyah Parker; Dylan Martirano; Melinda T. Owens – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has underscored the importance of mRNA vaccines. The mechanism for how such vaccines work is related to the core biology topic of the central dogma, which students often misunderstand despite its importance. Therefore, we wanted to know whether students can apply their biology knowledge of central…

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…

Acton, Riley K.; Cao, Wenjia; Cook, Emily E.; Imberman, Scott A.; Lovenheim, Michael F. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2022
Since the spring of 2021, nearly 700 colleges and universities in the U.S. have mandated that their students become vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. We leverage rich data on colleges' vaccination policies and semester start dates, along with a variety of county-level public health outcomes, to provide the first estimates of the effects of…

Cottone, Dina M.; McCabe, Paul C. – School Psychology, 2022
Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly…

Current models of COVID-19 transmission predict infection from reported or assumed interactions. Here we leverage high-resolution observations of interaction to simulate infectious processes. Ultra- Wide Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems were employed to track the real-time physical movements and directional orientation of children and…

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
During the COVID-19 crisis, we have been able to witness, in many countries, a substantive resistance to the science-based arguments of politicians and to the calls from the medical field to implement safety measures (masks, distancing) and to get vaccinated. In this text, some reflections are provided on what this resistance might tell the…
