The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Dear John,
During Rosh Hashanah, we explore an article about COVID-19 in Israel
from the August issue of Health Affairs.
Public Health And Public Trust
In the mitigation of the spread of contagious diseases, social
resilience and trust are key. Although measures like lockdowns have been
proven to reduce morbidity, their efficacy is dependent on public trust
and compliance.
In an article from the August 2021 issue of Health Affairs, Moran Bodas
and Kobi Peleg assessed public attitudes toward compliance
with pandemic-related public health regulations during different waves
of COVID-19 in Israel through January 2021.
The authors found that trust in public health instructions issued by the
Ministry of Health was positively associated with respondents' level
of worry about COVID-19. Both trust and worry were high in early phases
of lockdown, dropped in August 2020, and returned to a higher level in
January 2021.
"Public attention to risk cues may vary and can be tapped to increase
public compliance with health regulations," they found. "However,
this will prove to be highly challenging when trust between the
authorities and the public is lost."
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Ayesha Sitlani and coauthors discuss the
challenges around ensuring global access to monoclonal antibodies
for COVID-19.
For our newsletter readers celebrating Rosh Hashanah, we wish you a
sweet, healthy, and fulfilling New Year.
