The mass public's science literacy and co-production during the COVID-19 pandemic: empirical evidence from 140 cities in China
H. Qin, Z. Xie, et al.
This study reveals a compelling connection between public science literacy and co-production efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, showcasing that a mere 1% increase in science literacy can result in a remarkable 14.2% uplift in collaborative initiatives. Conducted by Haibo Qin, Zhongxuan Xie, Huping Shang, Yong Sun, Xiaohui Yang, and Mengming Li across 140 Chinese cities, the findings underscore the crucial role education and local government play in enhancing public health responses.
