Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impacts of informal educational tools used by the Midwest Center of Excellence for Vector-Borne Disease in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Children aged 6-12 will receive an educational activity about ticks. They will be asked questions before and after the activity and will participate for between 30-60 minutes.
Detailed Description
Children will be asked to complete a "before" survey which will include a drawing of a tick and some questions asking about their attitudes towards ticks.
They will then complete an educational activity about ticks, and an "after" survey including another drawing and some survey questions.
The parent or guardian will fill out a short survey of background information while the child participates in the study.
