The role of personal experience, contemptuous beliefs and accountability after the Covid-19 pandemic in Germany: A mixed methods study
Tolerance for uncertainty and medical students' specialty choices: A myth revisited
The impact of nontransparent health communication during the Covid-19 pandemic on vaccine-hesitant people’s perception of vaccines
Background Although transparency is crucial for building public trust, public health communication during the COVID-19 pandemic was often nontransparent. Methods In a cross-sectional online study with COVID-19 vaccine-hesitant German residents ( N = 763), we explored the impact of COVID-19 public health communication on the attitudes of vaccine-hesitant individuals toward vaccines as well as their perceptions of incomprehensible and incomplete in…
Peer-based research funding as a model for journalism funding
Financing high-quality journalistic reporting is becoming increasingly difficult worldwide and economic pressure has intensified in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While numerous alternative funding possibilities are discussed, ranging from membership models to government funding, they should not compromise the highest possible independence of journalism – a premise that also applies to scientific research. Here, the state is involved in fundi…
Women’s perception, attitudes, and intended behavior towards predictive epigenetic risk testing for female cancers in 5 European countries: A cross-sectional online survey
A successful introduction of predictive epigenetic tests for cancer risks will require a balanced and transparent communication of the benefit-to-harm ratio of healthcare pathways resulting from such tests in order to curb unjustified expectations and at the same time to prevent unjustified concerns
Design and usability of heuristic‐based deliberation tools for women facing amniocentesis
Background Evidence suggests that in decision contexts characterized by uncertainty and time constraints (e.g. health‐care decisions), fast and frugal decision‐making strategies (heuristics) may perform better than complex rules of reasoning. Objective To examine whether it is possible to design deliberation components in decision support interventions using simple models (fast and frugal heuristics). Design The ‘Take The Best’ heuristic (i.e. se…
