接触者追踪仍然是控制 COVID-19 传播的关键部分。许多国家/地区开发了新颖的软件应用程序 (App)，以增强传统的接触者追踪方法。对爱尔兰人口进行一项全国调查，以检查使用接触者追踪应用程序的障碍和杠杆。在推出国家应用程序解决方案之前，成人参与者被邀请通过通过电子邮件和消息应用程序发送的在线调查网络链接进行回应，并发布在我们的大学网站和流行的社交媒体平台上。总共收到 8088 份回复，涉及爱尔兰共和国所有 26 个县。 54% 的受访者表示他们肯定会下载联系人追踪应用，而 30% 的受访者表示他们可能会下载联系人追踪应用。 95% 的受访者至少指出了一个下载此类应用的原因，其中最常见的原因是该应用有帮助家人和朋友的潜力以及对更广泛社区的责任感。 59% 的受访者至少指出了一个不下载该应用程序的原因，其中最常见的原因是担心科技公司或政府可能会在大流行后使用该应用程序技术进行更严格的监控。接受调查的爱尔兰公民表示非常愿意下载公共卫生支持的应用程序以加强接触者追踪。如果应用程序要实现有效运营所需的大规模采用和持续使用，那么对隐私和数据安全的担忧将至关重要。
Contact tracing remains a critical part of controlling COVID-19 spread. Many countries have developed novel software applications (Apps) in an effort to augment traditional contact tracing methods. Conduct a national survey of the Irish population to examine barriers and levers to the use of a contact tracing App. Adult participants were invited to respond via an online survey weblink sent via e-mail and messaging Apps and posted on our university website and on popular social media platforms, prior to launch of the national App solution. A total of 8088 responses were received, with all 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland represented. Fifty-four percent of respondents said they would definitely download a contact-tracing App, while 30% said they would probably download a contact tracing App. Ninety-five percent of respondents identified at least one reason for them to download such an App, with the most common reasons being the potential for the App to help family members and friends and a sense of responsibility to the wider community. Fifty-nine percent identified at least one reason not to download the App, with the most common reasons being fear that technology companies or the government might use the App technology for greater surveillance after the pandemic. The Irish citizens surveyed expressed high levels of willingness to download a public health–backed App to augment contact tracing. Concerns raised regarding privacy and data security will be critical if the App is to achieve the large-scale adoption and ongoing use required for its effective operation.
