A recent BYU College of Life Sciences study looked at what motivates Utah Valley college students to abide by COVID-19 guidelines.
BYU biology professor Jamie Jensen and a team of six students conducted the study by surveying both UVU and BYU students and comparing them to students nationwide. The team found that a large determining factor in whether students comply with COVID-19 guidelines is convenience.
