Religion played a significant role in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. In our research published in Vaccine today, @martinejnar and I find that people of Pentecostal, Muslim Evangelical and Roman Catholic faiths have had fewer COVID-19 vaccinations. doi.org/10.1016/j.vaccine.20…

Healthcare waiting times in England are extremely long. But as my colleagues and I show, people still trust the NHS. @hdorus @MartinEjnar @JasonReifler @tjscotto @sunaharay @Dorothy_Yen
"There is little sign, therefore, of the public being responsive to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s contentious claims that the NHS waiting times and other woes are at least partially related to industrial action." theconversation.com/sky-high…

Waiting lists in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) are at a record high. Yet people still trust the NHS. Our new article in Public Health in Practice explains why. doi.org/10.1016/j.puhip.2024… #NHS #Trust @RSPH_PUHIP

The UK Home Secretary has recently made some inflammatory comments regarding the police. My colleagues and I have spent the last 16 months looking at how much the public trust the police and the government. Bottom line: they trust the police more. Source: YouGov, N= 9013.
