Zika Quiz sites are important as a measure of what people have learnt about Zika

Test your knowledge of Zika virus with these on-line quizzes.
Which one is best?


Zika Quiz site           number 
                            of questions


Medicine Net         9             Correct answers given immediately, includes prevention 3/5

WHO                     6             Very basic, answers given at the end, easy 1/5

PRI                        5             Answers given immediately, a bit pedantic, difficult 2/5

Washington Post 18             Thoughtful, imediate answers, scientifically sound 4/5

Stuff                     10             Short, intelligent, immediate answers and bar charts 5/5

Outlook               10              Answers at end, no explanatrion,ambiguous questions 2/5

My favourite is the Stuff.co.nz quiz because it shows [briefly] which options most people have chosen. From that you can work out the discriminant questions; in planning education, you need to focus on the answers that most people get wrong.
But what is important to know?
In the Stuff quiz most people knew when Zika was first detected, the vector of Zika, and its gender, the status of a vaccine, the proportion of people with no symptoms and the duration of symptoms.

People weren't so sure about where Zika was found and what symptoms it causes.  But which facts are the most important? How to protect yourself is relatively under-represented here.
