| contents | Contact tracing has existed in various forms for a very long time. With the rise of COVID-19, the concept has become increasingly important to help slow the spread of the virus. One approach to modernizing contact tracing is to introduce applications that detect all close contacts without individuals having to interact knowingly. 101 United States adults were surveyed in June of 2022 regarding their perceptions and trust of COVID-19 contact tracing applications. We see no definitive correlation between an individual's understanding of privacy protection procedures for contact tracing applications and their willingness to trust such an application. We also see that the release of the application by a private entity like Google-Apple or by a public entity like the United States Federal Government has no significant correlation with a person's trust in the application. |
