Sturgis, Jackson); University of Surrey ( Brunton-Smith); University of Sydney Law School ( Jackson) If the global challenge of widespread immunization against the coronavirus is to succeed, it is crucial that we better understand the social, economic and psychological factors that encourage or inhibit vaccine uptake. Vaccines must work at both the individual and the societal levels to be effective at eliminating viral infections. Scholarly attention to date has focused on individual-level drivers of vaccine confidence, but public confidence in immunisation programmes is related to factors operating at the community level as well. This article examines how societal-level scientific trust is associated with vaccination uptake, asking: Is the average level of trust in science in a country positively related to vaccine confidence, over and above the individual-level relationship? ....
GambleAware-backed study warns of selection bias in gambling harm research 14th May 2021 | By Robert Fletcher Research commissioned by British gambling charity GambleAware has warned that online surveys of gambling harm face a “particular risk” of selection bias, which can inflate the numbers of those experiencing harm if not properly accounted for. However, it added that measurement of gambling-related harm should still generally should move to online surveying – adjusted through less frequent face-to-face “benchmarks” – due to high costs and sample-size issues in face-to-face surveys.

GambleAware recommends that gambling prevalence research should move online Share GambleAware has published ‘ commissioned research’ to clarify fragmented data, insights and analysis of the UK’s gambling participation and its associated prevalence of related harms. The research, undertaken by Professor Patrick Sturgis and Professor London School of Economics, was commissioned by GambleAware following concerns about discrepancies between a YouGov 2019 survey and ‘ 2018 Health Survey for England’. YouGov feedback registered ‘substantially higher rates of gambling harm than had previously been estimated using the 2018 Health Survey for England, both providing separate Problem Gambling Severity Index ( PGSI)’. The surveys produced widely varying estimates of ‘problem gambling’ within the UK, indicated by a PGSI score of 8+, ranging from 0.7% to 2.4% of adults. ....
“These differences seem to be related to the levels of trust young people have in different sources of information about coronavirus, with young black people more likely to trust information from friends and family and less likely to trust health professionals and politicians,” the researchers said. “If the vaccine rollout is to be extended to younger age groups in the months ahead, we will face a considerable challenge in tackling these high levels of, and disparities in, vaccine hesitancy.” Overall, 64% of black young people had vaccine hesitancy, compared with 25% of those surveyed who self-identified as white. The strength of hesitancy was above that recorded earlier by the Office for National Statistics, which found that 44% of black adult respondents were hesitant compared with 8% of white adults. ....
