Here is a presentation that Drs Fiene and Stevens did last month to senior leadership in the Department of Children, Youth, and Families in the State of Washington. The presentation highlighted the encouraging results from a pilot study conducted in Washington’s Early Care and Education programs by Dr Stevens utilizing the new Contact Hour metric proposed by Fiene. The new metric is being proposed as an innovative virtual/remote measurement strategy to monitor COVID19 infection rates by tracking exposure time, density, and spacing in child care centers.
