Pervading global narratives suggest that political polarization is increasing, yet the accuracy of such group meta-perceptions has been drawn into question. A recent US study suggests these beliefs are inaccurate and drive polarized about out-groups. However, it also found informing people inaccuracies reduces those negative beliefs. In this work, we explore whether results generalize to other countries. To achieve this, replicate two original experiments with 10,207 participants across 26...
BackgroundUpdatable estimates of COVID-19 onset, progression, and trajectories underpin pandemic mitigation efforts. To identify characterise disease trajectories, we aimed to define validate ten phenotypes from nationwide linked electronic health records (EHR) using an extensible framework.MethodsIn this cohort study, used eight National Health Service (NHS) datasets for people in England alive on Jan 23, 2020. Data testing, vaccination, primary secondary care records, death registrations...

Background There are comparatively few international studies investigating suicide in military veterans and no recent UK–wide studies. This is important because the wider context of being a UK Armed Forces (UKAF) veteran has changed years following period intensive operations. We aimed to investigate rate, timing, risk factors for personnel who left UKAF over 23–year period. Methods findings carried out retrospective cohort study regular between 1996 2018 linking national databases...

A pervading global narrative suggests that political polarisation is increasing in the US and around world. Beliefs increased impact individual group behaviours regardless of whether they are accurate or not.

Given importance these findings for understanding...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed many people's mental health globally. Whilst the evidence generated thus far from high-income countries regarding pandemic's impact on suicide rates is generally reassuring, we know little about its influence this outcome in lower- and middle-income or among marginalised disadvantaged people. There are some signals for concern potentially unequal rates, with of affected demographic subgroups regions being at elevated risk before began. However,...
Background Reducing suicide risk in middle-aged males (4054 years) is a national priority. People have often presented to their GP within 3 months before thus highlighting an opportunity for early intervention. Aim To describe the sociodemographic characteristics and identify antecedents who recently consulted dying by suicide. Design setting This study was descriptive examination of consecutive sample 2017 England, Scotland, Wales. Method General population mortality data were obtained from...
Recent work in Natural Language Processing has increasingly focused on detecting suicidal intent textual data, where the main aim is to detect expressions a binary setting. However, previous research shown that search results and other mentions of suicide online are not only limited intent. Therefore, previously proposed algorithms datasets might for example struggle distinguish between user mentioned humorous context. In this article we introduce new dataset called <italic...
