We ask: What drives support for renewable energy in Germany? Using new survey data (5,000 respondents), we show: (1) #party preference matters more than sociodemographic variables, (2) #place matters: urban vs. rural and (!) east vs. west, (3) the #type of renewable matters: wind vs. solar. (3/4)

I know this firsthand, having seen the data during the pandemic and seeing the positive effect of proactive vaccine strategies in more disadvantaged/higher risk neighbourhoods and sociodemographic segments. Infections expand from higher to lower risk groups. Prioritizing the high risk helps all.

Finally, the mean number of confounders included in the propensit score matching or in the multivariate analyses was 15. Although the included studies adjusted for a wide range of sociodemographic, clinical and healthcare utilisation factors-and several employed propensity score methods—the possibility of residual confounding cannot be excluded, particularly, if vaccinated individuals are generally healthier or more health-conscious. The quality of the studies, assessed with the NOS, was overall good. (The second sentence was highlighted.)

One-third is the cursèd number in political psychology: in many Western countries over the past century, ~1/3 of the population prefer authoritarianism to democracy.
That's about the proportion of Germans who voted to make Hitler Chancellor & even now in Europe, 1/3 of whites want authoritarianism.
Snippet from magazine interview with political psychology professor Karen Stenner. Question: Your analysis of the 2016 EuroPulse survey, which was conducted in all 28 European Union countries plus the United States, concluded that 33 percent of white respondents were predisposed to authoritarianism, while 37 percent were non-authoritarian and 29 percent were neutral. What types of responses led you to conclude that someone had an authoritarian predisposition? Answer: I usually gauge latent authoritarianism with a low-level measure of fundamental predisposition: typically, respondents’ choices among child-rearing values. For example, when asked what qualities should be encouraged in children, authoritarians tend to prioritize obedience, good manners, and being well behaved over things like independence, curiosity, and thinking for oneself. Pitting this bare-bones measure of authoritarianism against any variety of conservatism, and the whole roster of sociodemographic variables—including education, income, gender, class, and religiosity—I have shown that authoritarianism is the principal determinant of general intolerance of difference around the globe.

Also, re this study, people trust healthcare providers more readily than govt officials and influencers.

Clearly, govt panels shld include *relevant* and *credible* experts to make a real difference.

Trust in Information Sources and COVID‐19 Vaccine Uptake:
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Figure accompany article: Trust in healthcare providers was the strongest predictor of COVID‐19 vaccine uptake, whereas reliance on religious leaders and family/friends was associated to lower vaccine uptake. Findings of this study demonstrate the crucial role of healthcare professionals in fostering vaccine acceptance amid misinformation and political polarization. PMCID: PMC12560108 PMID: 41164140 Methods Data were analyzed from the April 2021 wave of the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS). A total of 9067 US adults were included. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess associations between seven different information sources, trust, and vaccine uptake, adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Results Trust in personal doctors/healthcare providers was the strongest predictor of COVID‐19 vaccine uptake (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.53, p < 0.001), followed by trust in other doctors/community healthcare providers (AOR = 1.40, p < 0.001) and pharmacists (AOR = 1.32, p < 0.001). Non‐healthcare information sources, such as social service, neighborhood, or civic organizations (ARO = 1.27, p < 0.001), and local elected officials (AOR = 1.08, p < 0.001), showed weaker associations. Trust in religious leaders and family/friends was associated with a lower likelihood of vaccine uptake (AOR = 0.81, p < 0.001, and AOR = 0.85, p < 0.001, respectively). Older age, higher education, and Hispanic ethnicity were positively linked to COVID‐19 vaccine uptake. Conclusion Trust in healthcare professionals significantly influences COVID‐19 vaccine uptake, whereas trust in non‐healthcare sources plays a more limited role. Religious leaders’ and family/friends’ influence was minimal. Building and maintaining trust in healthcare providers is crucial for promoting vaccine acceptance, particularly amid widespread misinformation and political polarization. Public health efforts should prioritize improving healthcare provider–patient communication, utilizing trusted healthcare figures as role models, and implementing culturally tailored interventions to address hesitancy among marginalized groups.
