UNH New Research and Outreach Activities Related to Pandemic

Since mid-March, the Carsey School of Public Policy at UNH has been responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by moving classes online, conducting and publishing research on new and emerging trends related to coronavirus, helping in the policy response, and by assisting communities to safely continue civic life during this period of individual isolation, while also preparing for re-engagement when limitations are lifted.

Carsey’s COVID-19 research has run the gamut from surveys examining how individuals’ news sources and political affiliation affect their behavior in response to the crisis and their perceptions of government responses, to the current and potential impact on rural areas, to the state level economic impact. In all, researchers have produced ten briefs and projects that look at demographic, economic, social, and political trends related to COVID-19.
