Exploring User-Uptake of Digital Contact Tracing Apps: A practitioner guide
PHASE 1.
a) We conducted preliminary interviews and hosted a participant-led workshop aimed at gathering interdisciplinary, academic and practitioner guidance on the research direction and outputs of this phase of the project.
b) We then proceeded to generate a contextual understanding of the risks and benefits of digital contact tracing around the world. We conducted a case study analysis on five countries: Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and South Africa. We collected data via interviews with subject matter and digital contact tracing experts as well as a review of peer reviewed and grey literature.
c) This phase has resulted in a practitioner-driven guidance document
