摘要

背景:本研究反映了COVID-19大流行期间加拿大接触者追踪应用程序COVID Alert采用率低的问题。分析:本文利用2020年在加拿大进行的两次代表性调查的数据，研究了应用程序的属性和公民对卫生危机和技术的态度如何影响COVID警报的低采用率。结论和含义:结果表明应用程序设计是社会可接受的，它被认为是有用的，并且它不被认为有风险或难以使用。将这一证据与COVID Alert不受欢迎的情况进行对比，可以得出这样的结论:更大普及的障碍可能部分来自其开发人员无法有效推广该应用程序。

A Missed Opportunity? Making Sense of the Low Adoption Rate of COVID Alert, Canada’s Contact-Tracing Application

Background: This study reflects on the low adoption rate of COVID Alert, the Canadian contact-tracing application, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis: Using data from two representative surveys conducted in Canada in 2020, this article examines how the application’s attributes and citizens’ attitudes on the sanitary crisis and on technology may have influenced the low adoption rate of COVID Alert. Conclusions and implications: The results suggest that the application design was socially acceptable, that it was seen as useful, and that it was not perceived as risky or hard to use. Contrasting this evidence with the unpopularity of COVID Alert leads to the suggestion that the barrier to greater uptake may have partly come from the inability of its developers to effectively promote the application.
