Author: Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust
The Analysis and Response Toolkit for Trust or ARTT is focused on helping people engage in trust-building ways when discussing vaccine efficacy and other topics online.
Our central tool, the ARTT Guide, will provide insights into points of analysis and response during conversations around complicated discussions such as vaccines and vaccinations.
Conversations, especially trusted ones, take both reliable information and creative skill. We know that people in the middle of discussions are faced with different contexts, challenges, and needs. Our toolkit shows different possibilities for these conversations.
The ARTT Guide software tool presents, for the first time, a unique framework of possible responses for everyday conversations around tricky topics, all informed by online information analysis, to help motivated citizens answer the question: “What do I say (and how do I say it)?”

The interview was with Public Health Review Morning Edition, a daily podcast covering public health.
The team will develop practical interventions that help individuals and community moderators analyze information quality to build trust and address vaccine hesitancy.
