Brittany Shoots‐Reinhard

Brittany Shoots-Reinhard studies how people understand and use numbers (numeracy) when making health, risk, and safety decisions, including topics like vaccine choices, driving behavior, and pandemic-related judgments. Her work often examines how communicating information numerically (versus other formats) affects public understanding of risks such as disease, natural hazards, and climate science.

Publication output grew from a low base around 2017 to a peak in 2023, followed by a slight decline in 2024-2025, with an average of about 3-4 papers per year over the last five years.
