Topic: Public Health Policy and Practice

• Geana conducted an online survey among 131 Kansans during the COVID-19 pandemic and found that participants had good knowledge about the disease and preventive measures and were willing to comply with recommendations from local authorities. The author also reported that localized information sources that cater to the community are a primary source of information, while social media is not a valuable source for information pertinent to COVID-19.
