COVID-19 Concerns, Vaccine Acceptance and Trusted Sources of Information among Patients Cared for in a Safety-Net Health System

Terry C. Davis et al.

Summary: This study examined COVID-19 concerns, vaccine acceptance, and trusted information sources among patients in a safety-net health system in Louisiana. The findings showed that participants viewed COVID-19 as a serious threat to public health, with variations among different demographic groups. The majority of participants had received the COVID-19 vaccine, and females were more likely to be vaccinated. Physicians were considered the most trusted source of vaccine information, while social media was the least trusted.

Centering Health Equity Within COVID-19 Contact Tracing: Connecticut's Community Outreach Specialist Program

Kelly Johnson et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations and those with lower socioeconomic status. In an effort to improve participation in contact tracing among these groups, the Connecticut Department of Public Health established the Community Outreach Specialist (COS) program. The program recruited workers from target communities and trained them to provide contact tracing services to vulnerable and non-English-speaking populations. The program was found to be more effective at reaching contacts than the standard contact tracing program.

Levels of Trust in Information Sources as a Predictor of Protective Health Behaviors During COVID-19 Pandemic: A UAE Cross-Sectional Study

Maria J. Figueiras et al.

Summary: Health information sources and levels of trust can influence the adoption of advocated health behaviors, with sociodemographic variables playing a role. This study in the UAE found that websites, social media, government communications, and family and friends were the most consulted sources, while personal physicians, healthcare professionals, and government communications were the most trusted. Differences in source use and trust levels were observed based on age, gender, and education. Trust in information sources was associated with the adoption of protective behaviors, particularly for UAE citizens.

Cross-country evidence on the association between contact tracing and COVID-19 case fatality rates

Abdullah Yalaman et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between national contact tracing policies and COVID-19 case fatality rates in 138 countries, finding that countries with comprehensive contact tracing have significantly lower fatality rates. Contact tracing enables early detection and isolation of secondary cases, accelerating access to medical care and reducing burden on healthcare systems.

Does High Public Trust Amplify Compliance with Stringent COVID-19 Government Health Guidelines? A Multi-country Analysis Using Data from 102,627 Individuals

Anton Pak et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that stricter government restrictions lead to increased public compliance. High levels of public trust in government and the perception of its truthfulness double the impact of policy restrictions on public compliance. In authoritarian and democratic countries, higher levels of public trust significantly increase predicted compliance as stringency level rises.

Trusted Sources of COVID-19 Vaccine Information among Hesitant Adopters in the United States

Rachel S. Purvis et al.

Summary: Vaccine hesitancy has been identified as a major health concern by the World Health Organization. A study conducted in the United States found that hesitant adopters of the COVID-19 vaccine rely on trusted sources such as healthcare/medical science, personal relationships, news and social media, and themselves for information. Some respondents expressed distrust in all sources of information, despite getting vaccinated, pointing towards a lack of trust in traditional sources like mainstream media or the government.

Implementation of a volunteer contact tracing program for COVID-19 in the United States: A qualitative focus group study

Tyler Shelby et al.

Summary: This study examined the experiences and perspectives of volunteer contact tracers in implementing COVID-19 contact tracing and identified facilitators, barriers, and potential solutions for improvement. Recommendations included standardized communication skills training, supportive supervision, and peer networking to enhance implementation, as well as better management tools and coordination with outside agencies for more effective contact tracing.

Contact tracing is an imperfect tool for controlling COVID-19 transmission and relies on population adherence

Emma L. Davis et al.

Summary: Emerging evidence shows that contact tracing in the UK has had limited success in reducing the R number during the COVID-19 pandemic. While well-implemented contact tracing may bring small but potentially important benefits in controlling and preventing outbreaks, it is not currently suitable as the sole control measure. High levels of reporting and adherence are crucial for contact tracing to effectively reduce transmission rates.

Lessons Learned From COVID-19 Contact Tracing During a Public Health Emergency: A Prospective Implementation Study

Tyler Shelby et al.

Summary: The study evaluated an emergency volunteer contact tracing program in New Haven, finding that only a portion of cases and contacts were reached in a timely manner, with older individuals and Black/African-American populations less likely to be contacted. High volunteer turnover necessitated the supplementation of the workforce with paid public health nurses.

COVID-19 Case Investigation and Contact Tracing in the US, 2020

R. Ryan Lash et al.

Summary: Contact tracing is crucial in limiting SARS-CoV-2 transmission, but gaps in the process can lead to missed opportunities to prevent COVID-19. A study conducted in US local health departments and Indian Health Service Units found that testing named contacts was effective in identifying cases, but contact tracing had limited impact on reducing transmission due to issues like cases not being reached for interview or not naming any contacts. These findings are important for resource allocation and prioritization of public health efforts.

Pilot Evaluations of Two Bluetooth Contact Tracing Approaches on a University Campus: Mixed Methods Study

Tyler Shelby et al.

Summary: This study pilot tested two Bluetooth contact tracing technologies on a university campus and found that a small electronic tag had higher sensitivity and specificity compared to a mobile phone app. Most participants believed that Bluetooth contact tracing on campus was appropriate, preferred technology developed and managed by the university, and did not want tracing apps on their personal phones due to privacy concerns.
