Project reveals pandemic perceptions in Alaskan fishing community

When the COVID-19 pandemic spread across United States in early 2020, people's perceptions of the disease varied widely. Penn State researchers examined those perceptions in Bristol Bay, Alaska, home to the world's largest commercial salmon fishery, and found people's perceptions of risk due to COVID-19 varied across race/ethnicity groups by residency and income. They published their work in the journal Marine Policy.
