<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Everyday life in the U.S. changed drastically in March 2020 when millions of people started living in a state of health emergency due to the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). There is a lot of information
available about the pandemic, and we are interested in understanding the public attitude about information during a public health emergency. We invite you to participate in a brief survey that seeks to understand<span style="color:black">
</span>your individual experiences of information flow in this new situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Since we intend to distribute the survey broadly to a wide group of people in the U.S. regardless of their age, background, or geographical location, it would be of an immense help if you would please pass
on the survey link to those who may be interested in filling this out. More specifically, please encourage your friends, colleagues, or anybody on your social media network to participate in the survey.
