Examining the Inclusion of Trust and Trust-Building Principles in European Union, Italian, French, and Swiss Health Data Sharing Legislations: A Framework Analysis.

Unlabelled: Policy Points First, policymakers can strengthen the inherent trust-building effect of legislations on citizens by incorporating trust-building principles within health data-sharing legislations in a recognizable and comprehensive manner to explicitly signal public trust to policy implementers as one of the policy outcomes to be achieved in the implementation phase. Second, policymakers can use the proposed "public trust in health data sharing" framework as an initial guide to incorporate trust-building principles within health data-sharing legislations.

Context: Public trust is critical to both system legitimacy and the successful implementation of data-driven health initiatives.

Bringing Trust Building to Life Within Health Policy-Making Comment on "Placing Trust at the Heart of Health Policy and Systems".

Public trust is crucial for health policy-making as it is closely linked to public participation and policy-makers' legitimacy. While we have witnessed increasing interest in issues of public trust, especially since COVID-19, we argue that efforts should be made to deeply integrate the concept of public trust into health policy-making from the design to the implementation, assessment, and evaluation processes across the public health and medical domains. We propose four key aspects to consider for building public trust in the healthcare system, which have emerged from our past and ongoing health policy research on public trust: to understand trust before aiming to build trust; to provide tailored guidance on trust building in health policy; to develop trust performance indicators to assess trust interventions; and to implement targeted communication strategies.

A guide for a student-led doctoral-level qualitative methods short course in epidemiology: faculty and student perspectives.

Qualitative research and mixed methods are core competencies for epidemiologists. In response to the shortage of guidance on graduate course development, we wrote a course development guide aimed at faculty and students designing similar courses in epidemiology curricula. The guide combines established educational theory with faculty and student experiences from a recent introductory course for epidemiology and biostatistics doctoral students at the University of Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich.
