This RAPID study incorporates a diverse project team to investigate how people interpret quantitative data representations (QDRs) of COVID-19 data in the media. Drawing on their respective areas of expertise, the project team will produce novel QDRs to support individuals in making data-informed decisions regarding their behavior, personal health risk, and the health risk of others. Collectively, the project activities and deliverables will produce a deeper understanding and tangible examples of how STEM education research can be used to improve students’ and citizens’ learning and well-being.
