UCLA Collaboration on COVID-19 Survey Project in New York Times: TheUpshot
/In a collaboration facilitated by the Center for SMART Health (supported by the UCLA Institute for Precision Health, Garrick Institute for Risk Sciences, and Clinical and Translational Science Institute), researchers in the UCLA School of Medicine (team led by Arash Naeim) and Political Science (team lead by Lynn Vavreck) have been involved in a large scale nationwide survey project called the UCLA COVID-19 Health and Politics Project with UCLA colleagues Neil Wenger (primary care provider, ethicist), Annette Stanton (health psychology), and a Harvard colleague Karen Sepucha (decision science).
This collaboration, which is still ongoing, has interviewed over 75,000 individuals over the last 10 months, measuring people’s pandemic experiences and attitudes along political and economic dimensions as well as physical and mental health well-being. Recently, the project has assessed the effectiveness of different messages on vaccine uptake which was highlighted in the NYT Upshot article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/04/upshot/vaccine-incentive-experiment.html.
