Abstract:
Objective: This study's purpose was to explore universities' online dashboards that communicate information about COVID-19 cases to campus communities, and if dashboards adhere to American College Health Association (ACHA) recommendations. Methods: The websites of all four-year, public universities with an enrollment of at least 10,000 students were analyzed for the presence of COVID-19 dashboards, if dashboards contained recommended case features (eg, number of cases, tests, and people in quarantine/isolation), as well as other helpful features (eg, epidemiological curve, cluster information). Results: Of the 263 universities included in the study, 76% had a dashboard, but only 15% contained all recommended features. Most (62%) had an epidemiological curve, but few (3%) reported information related to clusters. Conclusion: Dashboards display case information and encourage behavior change; however, there is a need for improved adherence to the ACHA's recommendations for COVID-19 dashboards to maximize their potential impact on campus communities.
