Session 2: US Outbreak Breakout—COVID-19 Research

I am currently enrolled in the course titled Field Experience: Global Crisis with Dr . Kristin Yarris . This research project aims to track the response of the State of Colorado through the state’s government and local Public Health perspective . I will track and analyze the government’s response through
Gov . Jared Polis’ policies and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s data and recommendations, perspectives from frontline health care workers, and the public’s response to these policies and recommendations ultimately leading to the amount of cases and deaths . I will have direct conversations with front line health care workers discussing their perspectives on the state’s response as well as the public’s response . All data and interviews will be compiled into a Podcast to share the information and perspectives on Colorado’s response to COVID-19 as a whole .
