101 - How Families Can Make Decisions Around Summer Activities During COVID-19

With vacations and camps upended, families with young children are struggling with making summer plans—especially when there's often confusing or conflicting guidance. Biostatistician Dr. Elizabeth Stuart and epidemiologist Dr. Keri Althoff return to the podcast to talk with guest host Dr. Colleen Barry about their decision-making framework for assessing risk to address questions like childcare, visiting with older relatives, and "quaranteams" with other families. Stuart and Althoff also break down how to make sense of COVID-19 data at the community level and what families can do to still have a joyful, memorable summer.
