“…The RT is measured in milliseconds (ms). Responses with a short RT (below 500 ms) are suspected of being given at random, while those with a long RT (above 10,000 ms) are suspected to be given after distraction [47]. This type of dubious responses that accounted for less than 1% of the total number of participants was deleted.…”

Health worries, life satisfaction, and social well-being concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from Lebanon

2021

The COVID-19 outbreak has struck Lebanon in its worst period of instability, not only impacting physical health, but also increasing psychological distress. Using an online survey enhanced by response time measurement, this study describes the overall patterns in mental well-being outcomes and examines their association with sociodemographic characteristics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it identifies significant predictors for COVID-19 good practices. A total of 988 Lebanese were surveyed, with participants providing written online consent prior to filling the survey. Regression-based models were estimated. Findings show that individuals with higher education levels exhibit lower health concerns. People with children face higher health worries than those without. Men are more worried than women about their health and they are less satisfied with their lives during the pandemic. Descriptive statistics show that most Lebanese are very satisfied with their families (93.1%), but they are highly dissatisfied with their country (63%). Young adults and individuals who live alone exhibit significantly higher social well-being concerns. Age and having children were strong predictors for good COVID-19 practices. The odds of having good practices for older adults are 3.13 times higher than that of youth, while the odds for those with children are 3.18 times higher than those without. The findings of this study could pave the way for a well-coordinated national strategy and increased collaboration with public health professionals to mitigate the pandemic’s adverse effects on mental health in the long-term.

“…Still, this strategy may not fit preferences, and the value of waiting may be harmful to some individuals. The second reason for allowing for delayed uptake is that this preference may be broader than just refusing the vaccine [ 38 ], while either choice may stand for very different population segments [ 11 – 14 ]. Finally, with our outcome vaccine intention measure, we can look at the possible trade-off between taking a less effective vaccine today versus one which is more effective later or the value of time.…”

“…For workers, 50% of their physical contact arises from work [ 9 ]. Many companies have adopted WFH as an effective way to protect against infection while continuing to work, but in the meantime, many people have complained about the integration of work into the private home space [ 3 , 11 ]. We hypothesize that people may want to have the choice of where to work (H9).…”

“…Despite this robust evidence, the will to be vaccinated has remained in the range of 60–70% of the population in a large variety of countries surveyed for the intended uptake of the vaccine [ 19 , 21 , 40 ], or [ 11 – 14 ]. Countries with more uptake intent are located in (South-East) Asia, essentially because of high population trust in how institutions have managed the covid-19 crisis [ 34 ].…”

Vaccination or NPI? A conjoint analysis of German citizens' preferences in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

This research uses discrete choice-based conjoint analysis that elicits the preference structure of German citizens when it comes to their timely intention to vaccinate. The focus is on the trade-offs between pharmaceuticals (vaccine) and "non-pharmaceutical interventions" (NPIs) such as lock-downs and social distancing measures, as well as the value of voluntary versus mandatory compliance to the citizens. Our results highlight three critical insights: (a) value of waiting: at 70% effective vaccine, 1/3 of citizens still would prefer to be vaccinated in the next 6 months rather than immediately; (b) costs of NPI constraints: an effective vaccine may come as a solution to compensate for the costs induced by invasive NPI imposed for an extended period; (c) freedom of choice: voluntary compliance is preferred by citizens over imposed measures whether it relates to vaccination choice, lock-down measures, or work location choice during the pandemic. Backing up those findings in monetary value, a quick shot of a 100% effective vaccination is estimated to be worth in the range of 11,400€. Still, the value of the shot quickly falls to no value when effectiveness drops below 50. At the same time, the cost of imposing protective rules lies in the range of 1500–2500€, depending on the rule analyzed. In comparison, the burden of extra complete lock-down and social distancing is about 775€ per citizen per month. As most current vaccines are being proven to have high efficacy, a strategy that selects the most effective vaccine candidates while emphasizing how the vaccine may stop the pain of lasting lock-downs will be appropriate to nudge the population towards vaccination. Control measures that are too restrictive may be welfare-deteriorating, but enough NPI measures must be recommended as long as vaccination adoption is not sufficiently large.
