    An Approach for Monitoring and Evaluating Community Mitigation Strategies for COVID-19

    This document describes the approach of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s approach to evaluating community mitigation strategies and provides overarching considerations to support state, territorial, or local health departments, tribal health organizations, or others in monitoring and evaluating COVID-19 community mitigation strategies, including a logic model, suggested monitoring and evaluation questions, and potential data sources.

    The approach considers outcomes that minimize COVID-19 morbidity and associated mortality, effects of community mitigation strategies on long-standing health disparities and social determinants of health, and how communities thrive socially, emotionally, and economically.

      Adapting Evaluation Designs in Times of COVID-19 (Coronavirus): Four Questions to Guide Decisions

      This is a framework organized around four questions to address the ethical, conceptual, and methodological challenges that are affecting programmatic evaluation work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

      The questions are:

      • Should you adapt your evaluation questions and scope?
      • Can you improve what remains feasible?
      • Can you find ways around what is infeasible?
      • Can you tap into alternative sources of evidence?

          Countering Stigmatization in the Humanitarian Response to COVID-19

          Stigma related to mental health and COVID-19 can exacerbate pre-existing conditions or lead to new mental health and psycho-social problems for individuals, families, and communities.

          Many humanitarian crises affect people who are traveling or who are displaced and already experiencing significant stigmatization from the host communities where they reside. Host communities have often accused displaced populations of bringing crime and disease, leaving them isolated and more vulnerable to mental health and psycho-social problems. This can exacerbate negative perceptions of—and violence against—those who have or are believed to carry the virus.

          This report highlights key findings and recommendations outlined in a webinar and roundtable event hosted by the InterAction Protection Working Group in July 2020.

            Why Misinformation about COVID-19’s Origins Keeps Going Viral

            Despite the objections of experts to the publication of articles before they have been peer reviewed, this report states,that pre-reviewed articles and other types of misinformation have gained traction on social media because they take advantage of vulnerable human emotions. Those feelings can drive the viral spread of hoaxes.

            The author provides several reasons why misinformation spreads easily:

            • The way people react to emotional stories on social media is intense and predictable. Vitriol fills the replies, and false news then becomes 70 percent more likely to be retweeted than the truth.
            • A complicated combination of psychological factors is at work whenever a reader decides to share news, and otherwise smart people can become part of the cycle of disinformation.
            • Readers cut corners, often sharing stories with grabby headlines before looking deeper into the story itself.
            • If you hear something twice, you’re more likely to think that it’s true than if you’ve only heard it once
            • Political news travels faster than the rest of false news
