  Older adults are at greater risk of experiencing negative physical and
psychological impacts of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Our
ongoing study is assessing COVID-19 information exposure in adults aged 55 and
above compared to other age groups living in Massachusetts and Georgia. This
work investigates the potential association between information exposure and
wellbeing as well as adherence to COVID-19 protective measures. Our initial
results show that older adults received information related to COVID-19 less
frequently than the middle-aged group, yet they feel more content and less
stressed than the other age groups. Further analysis to identify other
potential confounding variables is addressed.
