What Went Wrong? Predictors of Contact Tracing Adoption in Italy during COVID-19 Pandemic

Together with vaccines, contact tracing systems (CTS) have proved to be one of the best strategies to deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, the adoption of such systems has been quite limited in EU countries, and Italy was no exception. The present research aimed to investigate the facto...
