This project aims to immerse undergraduate and graduate students in an in-depth analysis of healthcare decision-making behaviors as captured through a series of public opinion polls conducted by the Center for Health Risk Communication and Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases. Focusing on critical issues like vaccine acceptance, this endeavor seeks to unravel the intricate patterns of healthcare-related attitudes and actions within diverse populations, particularly emphasizing the representation of minoritized groups. The team will embark on a journey of discovery and learning, diving into topics at the intersection of healthcare decision-making and public perception, overseen by an interdisciplinary team comprising a social scientist, natural scientists, and an engineer.
Team Leads: John M. Drake (Odum School of Ecology), Scott Carver (Odum School of Ecology); Mike Cacciatore (Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication), Olivia Ginn (College of Engineering)
