Family interactions could hold key to widespread use of contact tracing apps - WSU Insider

We’re trying to uncover where the tensions are and what we can learn to remove the barriers to widespread use of contact tracing. Interactions between parents and teens could provide some of the answers. They don’t want to out the fraternity brothers or sorority sisters they were partying with, or admit they had 30 people at their house for Thanksgiving. As a parent, I might think that’s a huge invasion of my child’s privacy. People might say, ‘I really want to go to a Cougar football game. I don’t want my movements traced 100% of the time, but I’m willing to do it for four hours to see the Cougs play’. I think those are the types of decisions people will be making until we get a widespread vaccine rollout. I could see people giving up their privacy for short periods of time.
