The influence of information sources on intention changes to receive COVID-19 vaccination: A prospective cohort study in Japan.

BACKGROUND: Before the COVID-19 vaccine became available, many Japanese people were undecided about whether or not to receive them. Their decisions were keys to achieving herd immunity. The impact of the type of information source on the COVID-19 vaccine uptake decision-making process remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between information source usage on COVID-19 and subsequent vaccine uptake status among those who have yet to decide whether to receive vaccines from non-prioritized people for vaccination. METHODS: Prospective cohort online self-administered surveys were conducted in February 2021 (T1), before the start of the mass vaccination program, and September-October 2021 (T2), when the vaccines were available to all citizens. The survey's target population was registered monitors of an Internet research company. Participants who answered "I want to get vaccinated after waiting to see how it goes." at T1 were eligible for analysis. The outcome variable was the COVID-19 vaccine uptake status in T2, and the predictors were 20 types of information sources, categorized based on people (family members, etc.), institutions (governments, etc.), or media (TV news, etc.). Adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using logistic regression adjusted for possible confounders. RESULTS: The 5,139 respondents, mean age and standard deviation was 42.8 ± 12.5, 55.7% female, were eligible for analysis. 85.7% completed vaccination (including reserved/intended people) in T2. In the multivariate logistic analysis, odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for vaccine uptake were 1.49 (1.18-1.89) for workplaces/schools, 1.81 (1.33-2.47) for LINE, 0.69 (0.55-0.86) for Internet news and 0.62 (0.48-0.82) for video sharing sites. CONCLUSIONS: The type of information source usage played an important role in the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19. Although caution is needed in interpreting the results, obtaining information from workplaces/schools and LINE was influential in promoting immunization.

The portrayal of mental health in Irish mainstream news media.

OBJECTIVES: The portrayal of mental health in the mainstream news media is an important topic for discussion. Concerns about stigmatisation of those suffering from mental ill-health have been expressed for many years, leading to numerous anti-stigma campaigns. Previous Irish studies demonstrated an improvement in the tone and content of articles over time. This study aims to re-evaluate this topic, 19 years after it was last studied. METHODS: Four Irish papers including the tabloid, broadsheet, online and compact paper with the highest readership were analysed daily for a 12-week period. Using pre-determined definitions based on previous studies, all articles or headlines incorporating psychiatry-related material were examined for tone, content, utilisation of terminology, reference to self-harm, suicide and violence. RESULTS: In total, 735 articles (2.19/paper/day) were identified and analysed. The majority of articles were found to have a supportive or factual tone. A higher proportion of judgemental or sensationalist articles were found in the tabloid newspaper. An improvement was noted compared to previous Irish studies. A decrease in articles written by mental health professionals was noted. Only 5% of articles portrayed psychotic disorders, with many of these referring to violence. Compliance with relevant guidelines for reporting of suicide was good overall. CONCLUSION: There has continued to be an improvement in the tone and content of articles since previous Irish studies. The introduction of guidelines within this time may have played a significant role. Psychotic illness received limited coverage and was more likely to be portrayed in a stigmatising manner, guidelines relating to this could be of benefit. Engagement between psychiatrists and the media is important to improve the portrayal of psychotic illness and enhance awareness.

[Communication with patients in the intensive care unit]. / Kommunikation mit Patientinnen auf der Intensivstation.

Communication is one of the fundamental human needs. It includes not only expressing oneself but also verbal and nonverbal communication and establishing contact to other people. In the context of intensive care treatment, influences such as sedation, delirium or the need for an artificial airway, be it a tube or tracheostomy, can make verbal communication almost impossible. In addition, nonverbal communication possibilities are often restricted by physical weakness or illness. Despite these difficulties, there is always a communication relationship, verbal or nonverbal, between patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the team. A lack of willingness in the team or mistakes in communication leave patients with a perception of not being heard or not being noticed. As a result, the patients can develop an impression of powerlessness and helplessness. It is precisely in these situations of dependency that there is a risk of overriding the patient's will and exercising coercion. Communication with patients in the ICU is a challenging process. Difficulties that arise here not only burden patients in the ICU but can also lead to frustration and moral stress in the team. The team should reflect on the imbalance of influences on communication between patients and the team in order to help the patients to survive and cope with the critical period by using tools and appreciative communication.

Using information and communication technology learnings to alleviate social isolation for older people during periods of mandated isolation: A review.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effectiveness of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in reducing social isolation in older people and draw recommendations from previous literature appropriate for informing ICT use in future mandated periods of isolation. METHODS: A systematically conducted review of key databases to identify studies investigating ICT interventions that targeted social isolation or loneliness among older people. RESULTS: Fifteen articles were identified. All articles used ICT as an intervention for targeting social isolation with varying results. Most studies reported positive impacts on social isolation, but this was identified more in self-reporting compared to changes in baseline measures. The types of ICT used included videoconferencing, Internet-based applications and purpose-designed applications. A number of factors were also identified throughout the studies that impacted uptake that should be considered when implementing ICT. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, we found evidence of ICT improving social connectedness of older people to some extent although more rigorous research in future is needed. Recommendations from previous literature highlight the importance of including older people in purposeful design, engaging families and support networks, and providing ongoing ICT training and support so that systems and skills are in place for future periods of mandated isolation. The literature also warns us not to rely on ICT as the only avenue for social interaction either during or outside periods of social distancing.

Visualizing the decline of public interest in the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident by analyzing letters to the editor in Japanese newspapers.

This study aimed to delineate the decline in public interest toward the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FNPP) accident in Japan over a ten-year period. In this longitudinal descriptive study, we searched for publications within a ten-year period in Letters to the Editor that mentioned the GEJE, the FNPP accident, or the January 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (GHAE) that occurred in Japan, using the official databases of the three largest Japanese newspapers. The GEJE- and GHAE-related publications (4,809 and 2,092, respectively) are depicted as scatter plots. The results show a gradual decrease in the publications mentioning GEJE or GHAE. The impact of GEJE and FNPP on Japanese society was enormous, but the public interest waned over time. Communication strategies that maintain a high public interest in previous disasters may be necessary.

Medios de comunicación y criterios relacionados con el afrontamiento a la COVID-19 en jóvenes y adultos güineros / Communication media and criteria related to coping with COVID-19 in adults and young people from Güines Municipality

RESUMEN Introducción: En la búsqueda y procesamiento de la información, así como en el afrontamiento a la COVID-19, son determinantes los medios de comunicación y los criterios acerca de dicha enfermedad. Objetivo: Identificar los medios de comunicación utilizados para informarse sobre la pandemia y los criterios relacionados con su afrontamiento. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva en el mes de mayo de 2020 con jóvenes y adultos de un consultorio de Güines. Los métodos utilizados para obtener la información fueron la observación participante, la encuesta y los grupos focales. Resultados: El medio fundamental por el cual se informaba el grupo de jóvenes era la Internet y los adultos a través de la televisión. Los jóvenes consideraron mayoritariamente que la COVID-19 es medianamente peligrosa y son poco susceptibles de contraerla. Los adultos la consideraron muy peligrosa y contagiosa. La medida que creyeron más eficaz fue el uso del nasobuco. Solamente la minoría de los jóvenes valoró la eficacia del distanciamiento físico. Se constata que la mayoría de los sujetos no respetaban las normas de distanciamiento físico y, aunque es obligatorio el uso del nasobuco, varios jóvenes lo hacían de forma incorrecta. La responsabilidad fundamental para evitar el contagio fue atribuida a las autoridades gubernamentales. Conclusiones: Los medios de comunicación desempeñan un papel crucial en la obtención de información sobre COVID-19, prevalece el uso de la televisión y se evidencia que los jóvenes consideran la enfermedad poco peligrosa a diferencia de los adultos que se sienten más amenazados y asumen la responsabilidad individual.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In information search and processing, as well as in coping with COVID-19, communication media and the criteria about the disease are determinant. Objective: To identify the communication media used to obtain information about the pandemic and the criteria related to coping with it. Methods: A descriptive research was carried out in May 2020 with young people and adults belonging to a family medical office in Güines Municipality, Mayabeque Province, Cuba. The methods used to obtain information were participant observation, survey and focus groups. Results: The main communication media through which the youth group obtained information was the Internet, while the adults did so mainly through television. The young mostly considered COVID-19 to be moderately dangerous and that they are not very susceptible to infection with it. The adults considered it very dangerous and contagious. The measure they believed to be most effective was wearing a face mask. Only a minority of the young assessed the effectiveness of physical distancing. Most of the individuals were found not to respect the rules of physical distancing and, although wearing a face mask is mandatory, several young people did it incorrectly. The main responsibility for avoiding contagion was attributed to government authorities. Conclusions: Communication media play a crucial role in obtaining information about COVID-19; the use of television prevails and the young clearly consider the disease not very dangerous, unlike adults, who feel more threatened and assume individual responsibility.

The corona chronicles: Framing analysis of online news headlines of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, USA and South Africa

Background: The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, now in its second year, has resulted in a large corpus of literature in a number of disciplines, particularly virology and epidemiology. In contrast, scholarly inquiry in other areas of the health sciences, particularly in media representations and public health communication, is still emerging. Aim: As an integral stakeholder in communication during a pandemic, this descriptive study sought to delineate the media frames of the COVID-19 pandemic in online news headlines in the first month that the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Setting: Online news headlines in three global hotspots, namely Italy, the USA and South Africa, during the month of March 2020, were analysed. Methods: Thematic content analysis and epidemic framing typology. Results: The findings indicate that COVID-19 has been internationally portrayed as a lethal pandemic that destroys and disrupts human life. Discursive frames of consequences monopolised its coverage, whilst discursive frames of reassurance were rare, despite the high survival rate. One of the unique findings of this study is that the COVID-19 pandemic coverage included the naming of positive patients, who were thereby made known to the public. Conclusion: Internationally, COVID-19 pandemic coverage used consequence frames that dramatized loss of life instead of deploying frames of reassurance that foreground the high survival rate of this disease. Contribution: Results of the study may help inform public health communication of the COVID-19 pandemic, by offering a detailed description of the frames that journalists use in news headlines, all of which possibly influence public perception of the pandemic. Theoretically, the article has also contributed to the application of epidemic framing typology and has contributed to knowledge in the field of public health communication and the COVID-19 pandemic.

(inter)connecting to lead: biopolitical strategies in organ and tissue donation advertising campaings / (inter)conectar para dirigir: estrategias biopolíticas en campañas publicitarias para la donación de órganos y tejidos / Entre(laçar) para governar: estratégias biopolíticas em campanhas publicitárias para doação de órgãos e tecidos

ABSTRACT Objective to analyze the organ and tissue donation advertising campaigns as biopolitical strategies. Method a qualitative research study inspired on the Post-Structuralist strand of Cultural Studies. Data collection took place between July and September 2020 and the research corpus consisted in the visual and textual components of 421 organ and tissue donation advertising pieces from institutional websites of the Ministry of Health, State Health Secretariats, State Transplantation Centers and the Brazilian Association of Organ Transplantation. The data were managed using the Ethnograph v6 program, submitted to analysis as proposed by Janice Morse and discussed following Michel Foucault's theoretical notions of Biopower and Biopolitics. Results two categories are presented. In the first, the representation of cultural and age diversity in the campaigns was discussed as a way to include all people in the donation and transplantation process; in the second, the use of heroism, altruism and empathy to mobilize the donor's "I" was addressed. Conclusion the inclusion of cultural and age diversity and the use of characteristics such as empathy, altruism and heroism in advertising campaigns are biopolitical strategies used by the Brazilian State to drive the population towards organ donation.

RESUMEN Objetivo analizar las campañas publicitarias sobre la donación de órganos y tejidos como estrategias biopolíticas. Método investigación cualitativa inspirada en la vertiente Post-Estructuralista de los Estudios Culturales. La recolección de datos tuvo lugar entre julio y septiembre de 2020 y el corpus de la investigación estuvo conformado por los componentes visuales y textuales de 421 materiales publicitarios sobre donación de órganos y tejidos de sitios web institucionales pertenecientes al Ministerio de Salud, a las Secretarías Estatales de Salud, a los Centros Estatales de Trasplante y a la Asociación Brasileña de Trasplante de Órganos. Los datos se manejaron en el programa Ethnograph v6, se los sometió a análisis según lo propuesto por Janice Morse, y se los debatió sobre la base de las nociones teóricas de Biopoder y Biopolítica de Michel Foucault. Resultados se presentan dos categorías. En la primera se analizó la representación de la diversidad cultural y etaria presente en las campañas como una forma de incluir a todas las personas en el proceso de donación y trasplante; en la segunda se abordó la utilización del heroísmo, el altruismo y la empatía para movilizar el "Yo" de los donantes. Conclusión incluir la diversidad cultural y etaria y recurrir a características como la empatía, el altruismo y el heroísmo en las campañas publicitarias son estrategias biopolíticas que emplea el Estado brasileño para inducir a la población a donar órganos.

Vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this review, we described the history of vaccination, the different types of vaccines, and how vaccination coverage has been affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic. The effectiveness of the vaccines under metabolic host conditions is analyzed, especially when people have lost their immunocompetence, such as in patients with chronic kidney disease who are in dialysis treatment. Vaccines are produced in a variety of industrial methods, modifying costs. The novel field of vaccinomics includes the set of immune responses, the satisfactory levels of neutralizing antibodies, the production of metabolites, and the induction of protein expression. Finally, an analysis is made of the confusing messages regarding vaccination that are disseminated on social networks, and general recommendations are given.

En esta revisión se describen el historial de vacunación, los diferentes tipos de vacunas y cómo la cobertura de vacunación se ha visto afectada por la pandemia actual de COVID-19. Se analiza la efectividad de las vacunas en condiciones metabólicas del huésped, especialmente cuando las personas han perdido su inmunocompetencia, como los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica que están en tratamiento de diálisis. Las vacunas se producen con una variedad de métodos industriales, modificando los costos. El nuevo campo de la vacunómica incluye el conjunto de respuestas inmunitarias, los niveles satisfactorios de anticuerpos neutralizantes, la producción de metabolitos y la inducción de la expresión de proteínas. Finalmente, se analizan los confusos mensajes sobre vacunación que se difunden en las redes sociales y se dan recomendaciones generales.

Encuadre mediático de la obesidad infantil en las noticias de prensa generalista en España / Framing of childhood obesity in Spanish lay press

Objetivo: Explorar el encuadre mediático sobre la obesidad infantil, individual o colectivo, de las noticias en los principales medios generalistas españoles. Método: Análisis de una muestra de 132 noticias sobre obesidad infantil (agosto de 2016 a septiembre de 2018). Se realizó un análisis descriptivo sobre encuadre, medidas y causas del problema, y la influencia de la industria alimentaria en la elaboración de la noticia. Resultados: El 47% de las noticias tuvieron un encuadre exclusivamente individual. Un 54% incluyeron como causas conductas relacionadas con la alimentación o el ejercicio físico. Un 29% de las medidas proponen favorecer un entorno saludable y un 27% son recomendaciones individuales. El encuadre fue individual en un 77% de las noticias en las que la industria influyó en su redacción. Conclusión: La obesidad infantil se representa en la principal prensa española como un problema individual. Esta percepción mayoritaria puede condicionar el desarrollo y la implementación de políticas o intervenciones de salud pública. (AU)

Objective: To explore the frame, individual or collective, of childhood obesity in the main Spanish lay media. Method: Analysis of a convenience sample of 132 publications regarding childhood obesity (August 2016-September 2018). Descriptive analysis about approach, measures and causes of obesity and food industry influence in the development of the publication. Results: 47% of the publications presented an individual approach. 54% included eating and physical activity as cause. 29% of the measures propose a healthy environment and 27% individual recommendations. Individual frame was present in 77% of the news influenced by the industry. Conclusion: Publications on childhood obesity of the main Spanish lay press reveal a predominance of the individual approach to the problem. This majority perception may condition the development and implementation of public health policies or interventions. (AU)

The outcome of nursing error as attractive to the media / El resultado de los errores de enfermería como atractivo para los medios de comunicación / O desfecho do erro de enfermagem como atrativo para a mídia

ABSTRACT Objective: to interpret, from the perspective of the Theory of Communicative Action, how the outcome of nursing errors can become attractive to the media, highlighting the main implications for the image of the profession and the imaginary of society. Method: qualitative research, carried out in documentary sources using news published in the major newspapers available online in two countries, Brazil and Portugal, from 2012 to 2016. The analysis of the findings was carried out following the steps of hermeneutics, based on the Theory of Communicative Action. The data were organized and coded in the ATLAS.ti software. Results: the research included 112 published news. Four categories emerged from the analysis: The highlights in the headlines - The beginning of persuasion; Combining image and initial text - An explosive mix; The error that is not an error - The error that is a crime; and Applying the validity claims in the discourses. Conclusion: the media are continuous producers of ideologies and, therefore, possess social responsibility by inducing misinterpretations that can negatively interfere in the nurse-patient interaction. Giving greater emphasis to the outcome of the error, the media influences negatively the people perception of nursing labour which has a unique social importance.

RESUMEN Objetivo: interpretar, desde la perspectiva de la Teoría de la Acción Comunicativa, de qué manera el resultado de los errores de Enfermería puede volverse atractivo para los medios de comunicación, destacando las principales implicancias para la imagen de la profesión y para el imaginario de la sociedad. Método: investigación cualitativa realizada en una fuente documental caracterizada por noticias de periódicos de grande circulación disponibles en línea en dos países, Brasil y Portugal, en el período de 2012 a 2016. El análisis de los hallazgos se realizó siguiendo los pasos de la hermenéutica, con fundamentación en la Teoría de la Acción Comunicativa. Los datos se organizaron y codificaron en el software ATLAS.ti. Resultados: la investigación estuvo compuesta por 112 noticias; y surgieron cuatro categorías durante el análisis: Los puntos destacados en el no título de la noticia - El inicio de la persuasión; Combinación de imagen y texto inicial - Una mezcla explosiva; El error que no es error - El error que es un delito; y Aplicación de las pretensiones de validez en los discursos. Conclusión: los medios de comunicación son continuos productores de ideologías y, por ese motivo, tienen una responsabilidad social al inducir interpretaciones erróneas que pueden interferir negativamente en la interacción enfermero-paciente, al dar mayor énfasis al resultado del error, desacreditando así un trabajo de importancia social sin igual.

RESUMO Objetivo: interpretar, sob a perspectiva da Teoria do Agir Comunicativo, como o desfecho dos erros de enfermagem podem se tornar atrativos para a mídia, destacando as principais implicações para a imagem da profissão e para o imaginário da sociedade. Método: pesquisa qualitativa realizada em fonte documental caracterizada por notícias de jornais de grande circulação disponíveis online em dois países, Brasil e Portugal, no período de 2012 a 2016. A análise dos achados foi realizada seguindo os passos da hermenêutica, com fundamentação na Teoria do Agir Comunicativo. Os dados foram organizados e codificados no software Atlas.ti. Resultados: a pesquisa foi composta por 112 notícias; e, da análise, resultaram quatro categorias: Os destaques no título da notícia - o início da persuasão; Combinação imagem e texto inicial - uma mistura explosiva; O erro que não é erro - o erro que é crime; e Aplicando as pretensões de validade nos discursos. Conclusão: os meios de comunicação são produtores contínuos de ideologias e, por isso, possuem responsabilidade social ao induzir interpretações equivocadas que podem interferir negativamente na interação enfermeiro-paciente, ao dar maior ênfase para o desfecho do erro, desacreditando, com isso, um trabalho de importância social ímpar.

Data Object Exchange (DOEx) as a Method to Facilitate Intraorganizational Collaboration by Managed Data Sharing: Viewpoint.

BACKGROUND: To help reduce expenses, shorten timelines, and improve the quality of final deliverables, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) and other health care systems promote sharing of expertise among informatics user groups. Traditional barriers to time-efficient sharing of expertise include difficulties in finding potential collaborators and availability of a mechanism to share expertise. OBJECTIVE: We aim to describe how the VA shares expertise among its informatics groups by describing a custom-built tool, the Data Object Exchange (DOEx), along with statistics on its usage. METHODS: A centrally managed web application was developed in the VA to share informatics expertise using database objects. Visitors to the site can view a catalog of objects published by other informatics user groups. Requests for subscription and publication made through the site are routed to database administrators, who then actualize the resource requests through modifications of database object permissions. RESULTS: As of April 2019, the DOEx enabled the publication of 707 database objects to 1202 VA subscribers from 758 workgroups. Overall, over 10,000 requests are made each year regarding permissions on these shared database objects, involving diverse information. Common "flavors" of shared data include disease-specific study populations (eg, patients with asthma), common data definitions (eg, hemoglobin laboratory results), and results of complex analyses (eg, models of anticipated resource utilization). Shared database objects also enable construction of community-built data pipelines. CONCLUSIONS: To increase the efficiency of informatics user groups, a method was developed to facilitate intraorganizational collaboration by managed data sharing. The advantages of this system include (1) reduced duplication of work (thereby reducing expenses and shortening timelines) and (2) higher quality of work based on simplifying the adoption of specialized knowledge among groups.

Redes sociales del Ministerio de Salud del Perú en la lucha contra la anemia: estudio cuali-cuantitativo de un video preventivo promocional / Social networks of the Peruvian Ministry of Health in the combat against anemia: qualitative-quantitative study of a promotional preventive video

En Perú la anemia infantil es un problema de salud pública. Se están desarrollando diferentes estrategias preventivas, entre ellas el uso de las redes sociales. Hay poca evidencia disponible sobre las mejores formas de interactuar con las audiencias en este espacio. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo explorar la percepción de los usuarios de las redes sociales del Ministerio de Salud del Perú sobre un video que promueve la alimentación para reducir el riesgo de anemia infantil y estimar el alcance y la interacción que consiguió a través de las redes sociales. Se hizo un estudio de carácter cuali-cuantitativo exploratorio de una intervención con un video musical del Ministerio de Salud, difundido a través de las redes sociales (Facebook, Twitter y Youtube). La mayoría de los usuarios (58/77) que comentaron el video en Facebook tuvo una percepción positiva. A los cuatro meses de seguimiento se logró el mayor alcance en Facebook (364 000 reproducciones), que triplicó lo alcanzado de forma conjunta en Twitter y Youtube. Durante la primera semana se logró el mayor alcance. La mayor tasa de interacción a los cuatro meses se produjo en Facebook (7,1 por ciento) seguida de Twitter (5,2 por ciento) y Youtube (0,3 por ciento). El mayor alcance y tasa de interacción del video estudiado fue a través de Facebook. La percepción fue positiva; sin embargo, la tasa de interacción fue baja. Las redes sociales son una forma de comunicación veloz, pero efímera, con un gran potencial en salud pública(AU)

Childhood anemia is a public health problem in Peru. A variety of preventive strategies are being developed, among them the use of social networks. Little evidence is available about the best ways to interact with audiences in this space. The purpose of the study was to explore the perception of users of social networks of the Peruvian Ministry of Health about a video promoting food to reduce the risk of childhood anemia and estimate the scope and interaction it achieved through the social networks. An exploratory qualitative-quantitative study was conducted of an intervention based on a music video disseminated by the Ministry of Health in the social networks Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Most of the users commenting on the video (58 / 77) in Facebook reported a positive perception. The largest number of replays was reached at four months' follow-up in Facebook (364 000 replays), trebling the results of Twitter and YouTube together. The broadest scope was achieved during the first week. The highest interaction rate at four months occurred in Facebook (7.1 percent), followed by Twitter (5.2 percent) and YouTube (0.3 percent). The greatest scope and interaction rate of the study video occurred in Facebook. Perception was positive, but the interaction rate was low. Social networks are a swift though ephemeral form of communication with a great potential in public health(AU)

Consumer Distrust about E-numbers: A Qualitative Study among Food Experts.

Food additives (E-numbers) are allowed in foods, but many consumers have a negative perception of them. The objective was to study the opinion of food experts about the causes and ways to reduce consumer distrust about E-numbers. Thirteen food experts from universities, research institutes, the government, food industry organisations, media, a nutrition information organisation, a consumer association and two other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) were interviewed with a semi-structured topic list, based on a model of risk perception. Interviews were transcribed, coded by an open-coding approach and analysed. Results indicated that, according to food experts, consumer distrust of E-numbers arose from negative communication by traditional media, social media and books. Food experts suggested that the information sources and the reliability of E-number information are important for consumers. Food experts also suggested reducing consumer distrust by avoiding negative label claims and making collective agreements with all parties about honest and transparent communication. According to interviewed food experts, food companies need to explain clearly and honestly why they use E-numbers in food. A nutrition information organisation and the government were often mentioned as appropriate parties to undertake action. The interviews suggested that consumers had no confidence in the food industry.
