2021 Poster – RAPID: Addressing Families COVID-19 Information and Education Needs Through Podcast Media

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.

This project's research questions include:

1. How and to what extent do Brains On!’s coronavirus-based episodes help children and their families understand and talk about science-related pandemic topics? What kind of conversations are sparked by these episodes?
2. What kinds of worries and questions do Brains On! listeners have about coronavirus and related aspects of the pandemic? How do children’s worries and questions change over the course of the pandemic?
3. What resources do caregivers need to answer children’s questions and help them understand science topics related to the pandemic?
