Publicamos con @FasceAngelo en Scientific Reports nuestro estudio sobre refutación de medicina alternativa en Perú. Evaluamos intervenciones empáticas vs. estándar. Ambas reducen razones de uso; la comunicación empática mejora la percepción del médico.

Physicians expressed very positive experiences in the interviews, highlighting the value of maintaining conversations with patients in a context of mutual understanding.
New article in npj Vaccines!
In collaboration with @CpssRomania, we conducted a field test with physicians and patients, testing two communication techniques to address vaccine hesitancy: the empathetic-refutational interview and motivational interviewing.
Vaccination appointments after the conversation with physicians were also higher than in the control group: +28% in the case of the empathic refutation interview and 34% in the motivational interview group.
Additionally, we found negative correlations between the aggression and anti-conventionalism factors of left-wing authoritarianism and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. This area is crucial to update beliefs in the face of new information.
New article published in Neuroscience! We used magnetic resonance imaging to identify brain areas whose anatomy is related to left-wing and right-wing forms of authoritarianism.

As a robustness check, these brain areas also correlated negatively with ideological variables related to their respective forms of authoritarianism (i.e., radical feminism, cultural feminism, and social dominance orientation).
New research in Health Psychology reveals an innovative way to talk to misinformed patients about vaccination. Among others, associate professor Philipp Schmid contributed to the research. Read the entire study via: https://t.co/iU3UP1oor7.

Over the weekend, we launched the JITSUVAX project within the Romanian context.
GPs underwent training in the techniques of Refutational Interviewing and Motivational Interviewing, to address vaccine hesitancy effectively.
