    Leveraging 4-H to Address Emergent Health Needs during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Epidemiology Pilot Project
    Iaccopucci, Anne Marie; Horowitz, Marcel; Espinoza, Dorina; Nayak, Roshan (Clemson University, 2024-04-10)
    4-H academics responded to the Covid pandemic by rapidly adapting CDC and other resources for virtual delivery. A statewide epidemiology project was taught to 48 youth with the goal of minimizing fears and confusion, increasing prevention measures, leveraging current topics for education, and bolstering the social-emotional health of youth participants. Results indicated that youth enjoyed the project and adopted behaviors to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, such as increased mask-wearing.
