Preference of young adults for COVID-19 vaccination in the United Kingdom: a discrete choice experiment.

Objectives: To determine preferences for COVID-19 vaccinations in the young adult population in the United Kingdom (UK).

Method: A discrete choice experiment survey was conducted in UK young adults. Participants were asked to choose between two hypothetical vaccines the one they preferred the most.

Beliefs regarding COVID-19 vaccinations of young adults in the United Kingdom: An interview study applying the Integrated Change Model.

Introduction: Young adults are considered one of the most hesitant groups towards getting vaccinated in the UK, which threatens the success of the vaccination program in ending the pandemic. Identifying and understanding the socio-cognitive beliefs is important to effectively design and implement health communication interventions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the underlying beliefs regarding COVID-19 vaccinations among young adults in the UK.

Impact of childhood maltreatment on obsessive-compulsive disorder symptom severity and treatment outcome.

: Preliminary evidence suggests childhood maltreatment to play a causal role in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, both the effect of childhood maltreatment on the course of OCD treatment and the role of specific subtypes of maltreatment remain largely unknown. : This study aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and the severity and time course of OCD symptoms within a clinical sample of OCD patients ( = 68).

Social Pavlovian conditioning: Short- and long-term effects and the role of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Today's stressors largely arise from social interactions rather than from physical threat. However, the dominant laboratory model of emotional learning relies on physical stimuli (e.g.

Particle shape effects on subvisible particle sizing measurements.

Particle analysis tools for the subvisible (<100 μm) size range, such as light obscuration, flow imaging (FI), and electrical sensing zone (ESZ), often produce results that do not agree with one another, despite their general agreement when characterizing polystyrene latex spheres of different sizes. To include the effect of shape in comparison studies, we have used the methods of photolithography to create rods and disks. Although the rods are highly monodisperse, the instruments produce broadened peaks and report mean size parameters that are different for different instruments.
