Description
Zhirui Chen and Zhen Cong study pandemic readiness by age in a 2023 paper. Their data come from a 2021 national household survey in the United States. Over six thousand people rated how ready they felt and what they had done. The survey also tracked what guidance each person had received.
Four classes of guidance emerged, from almost none to full coverage. Younger adults felt less ready than those over sixty. Yet they were more likely to take real steps to prepare. People with disease focused or full guidance felt readier and acted more. Good information also narrowed the readiness gap between age groups. The authors urge targeted messaging for groups that feel unready.
