漫画能否有效地将新冠肺炎的科学知识传递给年轻人？在大流行期间，年轻人对新冠肺炎有哪些类型和多少来源的信息？信息来源与准确的新冠肺炎知识有何关联？为了回答这些问题，我们在2020-2021年冬季对美国中西部一个学区5-9年级的年轻人进行了调查。这项在线调查使用了新冠肺炎知识和来源的衡量标准，并嵌入了对新冠肺炎相关漫画的实验。在整合科学资本和即时健康与科学信息获取模式的指导下，我们还测量了科学资本水平、科学认同感以及科学对健康和社会的效用。学区协议要求家长同意才能参加；15,000名青年中有264人参加了这项活动。在接受在线调查之前，年轻人被随机分配到四种喜剧条件中的一种。结果表明，与在漫画研究中获得的关于其他科学话题的知识类似，阅读漫画可以使新冠肺炎的准确率提高7%到29%。我们发现，年轻人报告从0-6个来源获得关于新冠肺炎的信息，包括媒体、家人、朋友、学校和专家。在完整的模型中，新闻与其他来源与知识准确性的双变量正关联并不存在，但在多变量模型中，更多来源与准确性的正关联确实存在。重视科学对他们健康的效用的程度缓和了来源数量与准确性的联系。那些对科学对健康的价值较小的人，在新冠肺炎知识的来源数量和准确性之间有更强的正关联。我们的结论是，在大流行病期间，即使在新闻媒体无处不在的卫生和科学信息的情况下，增加青年获得关于科学和卫生的各种准确信息来源可以增加青年的知识。
Can comics effectively convey scientific knowledge about COVID-19 to youth? What types and how many sources of information did youth have about COVID-19 during the pandemic? How are sources of information associated with accurate COVID-19 knowledge? To answer these questions, we surveyed youth in grades 5–9 in a Midwestern United States school district in the winter of 2020–2021. The online survey used measures of COVID-19 knowledge and sources, with an embedded experiment on COVID-19 relevant comics. Guided by an integrated science capital and just-in-time health and science information acquisition model, we also measured level of science capital, science identity, and utility of science for health and society. The school district protocol required parental consent for participation; 264 of ~15,000 youth participated. Youth were randomly assigned one of four comic conditions before receiving an online survey. Results indicate that, similar to knowledge gains in comic studies on other science topics, reading the comics was associated with 7 to 29% higher accuracy about COVID-19. We found that youth reported getting information about COVID-19 from between 0–6 sources including media, family, friends, school, and experts. The bivariate positive association of news versus other sources with accuracy of knowledge did not persist in the full model, yet the positive association of a higher number of sources and accuracy did persist in the multivariate models. The degree of valuing the utility of science for their health moderated the number of sources to accuracy association. Those with less value on science for health had a stronger positive association of number of sources and accuracy in COVID-19 knowledge. We conclude that during a pandemic, even with health and science information ubiquitous in the news media, increasing youth access to a variety of accurate sources of information about science and health can increase youth knowledge.
