  • Beyond symbolic participation

    Open AccessErick Venant Samwel, Roberta Biasiotto et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2025

    BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, disproportionately affecting Africa South of the Sahara, where young people have been identified as key stakeholders in AMR prevention and awareness; however, effective engagement beyond symbolic participation remains challenging, limiting the impact of youth-led initiatives in addressing AMR in the region. OBJECTIVES: To examine how youth-led actors in Africa South of the Saha…

  • Italians locked down

    Open AccessVirginia Romano, Mirko Ancillotti et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2022

    At the beginning of 2020, the widespread diffusion of SARS-CoV-2 rapidly became a worldwide priority. In Italy, the government implemented a lockdown for more than two months (March 9–May 18). Aware of the uniqueness of such an experience, we designed an online qualitative study focused on three main dimensions: daily life during the lockdown, relationships with others, and public health issues. The aim was to gain insights into people’s experien…

  • Individual moral responsibility for antibiotic resistance

    Open AccessMirko Ancillotti, Juan Manuel Villa et al.ARTICLEBioethics2022

    Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a major threat to public health and healthcare worldwide. In this article, we analyse and discuss the claim that taking actions to minimize AR is everyone's responsibility, focusing on individual moral responsibility. This should not be merely interpreted as a function of knowledge of AR and the proper use of antibiotics. Instead, we suggest a circumstantial account of individual responsibility for AR, where individu…

  • Socio-cultural determinants of antibiotic resistance

    Open AccessDimitrios Papadimou, Eve Malmqvist et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    The study makes explicit attitudes, perceived norms and values that, besides limited awareness, may contribute to non-judicious antibiotic use in Greece. These socio-cultural determinants of antibiotic resistance warrant further research and should be considered when designing measures aimed to mitigate this problem

  • Public awareness and individual responsibility needed for judicious use of antibiotics

    Open AccessMirko Ancillotti, Stefan Eriksson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Knowledge about antibiotic consumption and resistance, as well as values such as altruism and trust in the health care system, has significant influence on both perceptions of individual responsibility and on behavior. This suggests that these factors should be emphasized in health education and health promotion. To instead frame antibiotic resistance as a slowly emerging disaster, risks diminish the public perception of being susceptible to it

  • Uncritical and unbalanced coverage of synthetic biology in the Nordic press

    Open AccessMirko Ancillotti, Niklas Holmberg et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2017

    Synthetic biology will probably have a high impact on a variety of fields, such as healthcare, environment, biofuels, agriculture, and so on. A driving theme in European research policy is the importance of maintaining public legitimacy and support. Media can influence public attitudes and are therefore an important object of study. Through qualitative content analysis, this study investigates the press coverage of synthetic biology in the major …
