  • How politics affect pandemic forecasting

    Open AccessDorian Arifi, Bernd Resch et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Objectives: Due to political polarization, adherence to public health measures varied across US states during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although social media posts have been shown effective in anticipating COVID-19 surges, the impact of political leaning on the effectiveness of different topics for early warning remains mostly unexplored. Our study examines the spatio-temporal early warning potential of different geo-social media topics across repub…

  • Misinformation, Trust, and Use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19

    Open AccessRoy H Perlis, Kristin Lunz-Trujillo et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2023

    In this survey study of US adults, endorsement of misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of trust in physicians or scientists, conspiracy-mindedness, and the nature of news sources were associated with receiving non-evidence-based treatment for COVID-19. These results suggest that the potential harms of misinformation may extend to the use of ineffective and potentially toxic treatments in addition to avoidance of health-promoting behav…

  • Using General Messages to Persuade on a Politicized Scientific Issue

    Open AccessJon Green, James N Druckman et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Political…2023Citada por: 8Referências: 39

    Politics and science have become increasingly intertwined. Salient scientific issues, such as climate change, evolution, and stem-cell research, become politicized, pitting partisans against one another. This creates a challenge of how to effectively communicate on such issues. Recent work emphasizes the need for tailored messages to specific groups. Here, we focus on whether generalized messages also can matter. We do so in the context of a high…

  • The evolving roles of US political partisanship and social vulnerability in the Covid-19 pandemic from February 2020–February 2021

    Open AccessJustin Kaashoek, Christian Testa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The COVID-19 pandemic has had intense, heterogeneous impacts on different communities and geographies in the United States. We explore county-level associations between COVID-19 attributed deaths and social, demographic, vulnerability, and political variables to develop a better understanding of the evolving roles these variables have played in relation to mortality. We focus on the role of political variables, as captured by support for either t…

  • Socioeconomic status determines Covid-19 incidence and related mortality in Santiago, Chile

    Open AccessGonzalo E Mena, Pamela P Martinez et al.ARTICLEScience2021

    Urban socioeconomics and mortality Santiago, Chile, is a highly segregated city with distinct zones of affluence and deprivation. This setting offers a window on how social factors propel the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in an economically vulnerable society with high levels of income inequality. Mena et al. analyzed incidence and mortality attributed to SARS-CoV-2 to understand spatial variations in disea…

  • The role of race, religion, and partisanship in misperceptions about Covid-19

    Open AccessJames N Druckman, Katherine Ognyanova et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2021Citada por: 16Referências: 13

    Concerns about misperceptions among the public are rampant. Yet, little work explores the correlates of misperceptions in varying contexts – that is, how do factors such as group affiliations, media exposure, and lived experiences correlate with the number of misperceptions people hold? We address these questions by investigating misperceptions about COVID-19, focusing on the role of racial/ethnic, religious, and partisan groups. Using a large su…

  • Aggregated mobility data could help fight Covid-19

    Open AccessCaroline O Buckee, Satchit Balsari et al.ARTICLEScience2020

    Introduction to the article: As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic worsens, understanding the effectiveness of public messaging and large-scale social distancing interventions is critical. The research and public health response communities can and should use population mobility data collected by private companies, with appropriate legal, organizational, and computational safeguards in place. When aggregated, these data can help ref…

    Mark S Smolinski, Adam W Crawley et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015Citada por: 4Referências: 10

    Objectives. We summarized Flu Near You (FNY) data from the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 influenza seasons in the United States. Methods. FNY collects limited demographic characteristic information upon registration, and prompts users each Monday to report symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) experienced during the previous week. We calculated the descriptive statistics and rates of ILI for the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 seasons. We compared raw and n…
