Challenge: the importance of research in education - lessons from a pandemic

I have a challenge for you...

You may have noticed that not everyone is aware of the risks posed by COVID19. Many citizens do not understand the disease or the rationale behind preventive measures. Many citizens choose not to follow them. We know this from the news, from decisions taken by governments or by merely looking out of your window and observing your neighbours' behaviour.

Many of the education tactics used by governments to try to inform their population and control the spread of the pandemic were implemented without any research supporting which tactics are successful in educating the public.

The challenge: How would you design a research project to answer the following question: How can we efficiently/efficaciously educate the population to control the spread of a pandemic?
