The aim of the project is to repeatedly gain insight into how the population perceives the Corona pandemic, how the "psychological situation" is emerging. This should make it easier to orient communication measures and reporting in such a way as to offer the population correct, helpful knowledge and prevent misinformation and actionism. For example, an attempt should also be made to classify behaviour that is strongly discussed in the media.

The aim of the research work is to examine existing visualisations for food-related dietary recommendations (food based dietary guidelines, FBDG) based on specific reception criteria for different target groups. Based on qualitative studies, Sabine Best's team wants to use creative techniques to identify the challenges for the target groups (e.g. children, adults, senior citizens) and develop ideas for suitable forms of visualisation. Quantitative studies will then be used to review these…

The project "Behavioural data for effective heat communication – HEATCOM" investigates how citizens behave in heat situations, which factors influence their protective behaviour and which interventions could contribute to health-promoting adaptation. The aim of the project is to generate evidence that can be used by relevant organisations, authorities or the public health service to design specific communication campaigns and intervention programmes. The project will be carried out using the…

In the preceding project "An interdisciplinary approach to explain and overcome vaccine fatigue", the vaccination decision was systematically analysed for the first time as a social interaction on the behavioural level. In three work packages of this follow-up project, we are now building directly on the proven research approach of analyzing social-interactive health decisions through interactive decision tasks (Health Games).

The project is dedicated to contributions of Indian women to rural development programmes from about 1920 to 1966, following the call to include gender as a category of analysis in the history of development. The aim of the project is to examine the role of women in the design and implementation of governmental and non-governmental rural development projects in India in the key areas of health, education and livelihoods, and in this way to re-capture the processes of development and citizenship.…

Vaccine hesitancy—the delay or refusal of vaccination without medical indication—has been cited as a serious threat to global health by the World Health Organization (WHO), attributing it to misinformation on the internet. The WHO has also identified Health Care Professionals (HCPs) as the most trusted influencers of vaccination decisions. JITSUVAX leverages those insights to turn toxic misinformation into a potential asset.

In this project, the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella vaccination) decision aid is revised according to the scientific standards of the International Patient Decision Aid Collaboration and tested experimentally in laboratory studies. A special focus of the revision is on providing accurate risk information and reducing reactance, i.e. the feeling of being restricted in one's freedom of choice. The aim is to enable users to make a neutral decision process that reflects their individual…
This knowledge transfer project builds on the results of our two DFG-projects, which have shown that narrative reports of vaccine-adverse events have a strong distorting effect on the perception of vaccination risks and the vaccination intention.
ERIM is a project sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Health (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit - BMG) and led by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for the development of supplementary information materials to support physicians in private practice in exceptional biological hazard situations in order to promote good crisis management.

Obesity is currently described as a problem that is assuming epidemic proportions in modern societies, particularly in the USA. Based on this observation, the present project aims to write a history of eating, being obese, health and its regulation in the USA since the middle of the 19th century.
The project brings together perspectives from communication science, sociology, psychology and educational research to answer the overarching question of how research communication and journalism should best deal with uncertainty in science. To this end, quality criteria and ways of presenting scientific uncertainty based on them will be worked out and tested with the participation of journalists, science communicators and citizens. Successful communication of uncertainty should 1) create an…
