The path towards herd immunity: Predicting COVID-19 vaccination uptake through results from a stated choice study across six continents

Stephane Hess et al.

Summary: Despite the progress in developing COVID-19 vaccines, achieving global vaccination levels for herd immunity remains challenging. The acceptance and uptake of vaccines vary due to differences in efficacy and side effects. Using advanced models, the study found that offering more efficacious vaccines and longer protection increases vaccine uptake, while an increase in severe side effects decreases uptake.

Bayesian estimation of discrete choice models: a comparative analysis using effective sample size

Jason Hawkins et al.

Summary: This paper compares implementations of Bayesian estimation of mixed multinomial logit models and suggests using effective sample size statistics as a comparison metric. The study finds that although there are differences in sampling speed between the methods, the high correlation between samples makes the two methods comparable.

Test sensitivity is secondary to frequency and turnaround time for COVID-19 screening

Daniel B. Larremore et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a public health crisis due to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 through presymptomatic, symptomatic, and asymptomatic individuals. Effective population screening for the virus is essential for reopening societies and controlling its spread, with testing frequency and reporting speed playing crucial roles in its success. Test sensitivity is only marginally important compared to these factors.

A comparison of swab types on sample adequacy, suspects comfort and provider preference in COVID-19

Vijay Bidkar et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of different swab types on virological outcomes, suspected patients, and providers during COVID-19 sampling. Dacron swabs were preferred by both suspects and providers compared to Nylon swabs, and were associated with less pain/discomfort.

An imperfect test for a virus can Be worse than No test at all

Mark Whitmeyer

Summary: The study demonstrates that the availability of a freely accessible and moderately informative virus test may decrease societal welfare compared to the scenarios where no test is available or access is limited. In this context, providing tests to individuals who would not isolate themselves without a test can actually improve overall welfare.

Bayesian Analysis Reporting Guidelines

John K. Kruschke

Summary: Previous surveys have revealed a lack of important information in reports of statistical analyses, leading to issues of transparency and reproducibility. The proposal of Bayesian analysis reporting guidelines (BARG) aims to address these issues and improve the quality of research.

Arkansans' Preferred COVID-19 Testing Locations

Pearl A. McElfish et al.

Summary: This study reveals the importance of considering race and ethnicity when deciding where to offer COVID-19 testing, as preferences for testing locations vary across different sociodemographic groups. The preferred testing location among the most vulnerable demographics will be used to develop targeted responses aimed at eliminating disparities in COVID-19 in Arkansas.

Testing for COVID-19: willful ignorance or selfless behavior?

Linda Thunstrom et al.

Summary: The study shows that most people are ready to undergo COVID-19 testing, and those most likely to widely spread COVID-19 - extroverts, people who meet more people in their daily lives, and younger individuals - are the most willing to take a test. People's ability to financially or emotionally sustain self-isolation does not affect their decision on COVID-19 testing.
