HCAT won funding from the Immunology, Inflammation, and Infectious Disease Initiative (i3) at the University of Utah. The funding provides support for a repeated, cross sectional study that will track perceptions of COVID communication across 18 weeks. Notably, we are interested in whether people felt COVID messages were exaggerated.

HCAT members Andy J. King (Iowa State University), Helen Lillie (University of Utah), Chelsea Ratcliff (University of Georgia), and Dallin Adams (University of Utah) are all part of the research.
