Willingness to vaccinate
Willingness to receive an annual COVID-19 booster vaccine in the German-speaking D-A-CH region in Europe: A cross-sectional study
New coronaviruses and waning immunity may mean regular vaccines are needed, but data on people's willingness to vaccinate is limited. We surveyed 3,067 German-speaking adults in the D-A-CH region. 82.4% of the 2,480 vaccinated or planning to be vaccinated were willing to receive an annual booster.

Conspiracy Thinking
Association of personality traits and socio‐environmental factors with COVID‐19 pandemic‐related conspiratorial thinking in the D‐A‐CH region
Misinformation, lack of trust and uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic fostered the emergence of new conspiracy theories. Our findings highlight the importance of promoting understanding of complexity through targeted interventions, such as in educational settings, to help curb the spread of conspiracy theories.
