Article 1: Understanding Coronavirus disease COVID-19 risk perceptions among the public to enhance risk communication efforts: a practical approach for outbreaks, Finland February 2020
Aims of the Research
The article aims to evaluate and understand the risk perceptions of the public which is effectively critical for risk communication. However, the aims and objectives of the paper were not explicitly mentioned in the research. Although, the introduction of the research paper mentions the research aspects and the effective field in which the research is conducted. The aims and objectives of the research are not clearly mentioned in the paper. The authors could have projected the research objective and the purpose of the paper in the very opening paragraph. Instead, the process and the methods of the research are mentioned in the introductory part of the paper. Moreover, the aim of the paper is just mentioned in a single line and no explicit definition for or understanding is provided. The introductory part of the research paper must explore the aims and objectives of the research to provide the purpose of the research to the readers.
Qualitative Methodology
The research paper effectively uses a qualitative methodology for the purpose of collecting data and also for the purpose of obtaining results in the research. The author proposes to use thematic analysis of emails and social media messages that they obtained from the public. Consequently, the paper had identified the probable factors that are related to the risk magnitude by analyzing the narrative data that they have obtained from email accounts and social media channels (Raynaud et al., 2021).
The results were evenly shaped after considering the narrative data according to the risk models, identifying codes, and were further categorized in several domains. It is significantly mentioned in the study that the methodology uses knowledge of several disciplines to ensure that the outcomes and the findings are relevant to the research purpose. The methods used in the research were proposed to use robust methods of retrieving data from various sources and an expert aspect of qualitative analysis was used in the research. This validates the fact that qualitative analysis was effectively used in the research.
Research Design
The design of the research was effective enough to evaluate the risk perception of the public about the COVID-19. The paper effectively describes the concepts of risk perception and the risk communication recommendation by analyzing the data collected from social media and email. These narrative data were based on 116 social media posts and emails from the public. The findings after evaluating the narrative data were further categorized into five risk perception domains viz; catastrophic potential, probability of dying, reasons for exposure, the belief of being in control of the situation, and cross towards authorities. Thereafter the data in each of these categories were again evaluated on the basis of certain concepts and risk communication recommendations. Thematic analysis was performed in collaboration with medical anthropologists and experts in risk communication and public health.
The research effectively uses the methodologies that they have mentioned in the introductory part of the paper. This signifies the fact that the paper justifies the research design as proposed in the opening paragraph.
Recruitment Strategy
The paper has not explicitly defined the Strategies for recruiting the participants or selection of the participants in the collection of data. Although, the authors mentioned the route by which data were obtained that is by the social media post and emails. There was no such explanation regarding how the participants were selected, what are the factors that were taken into account for the selection of the 116 participants in their research and there was no discussion about the non-responders or for the people who did not take part in the survey. Hence, the recruitment strategy was not appropriate to the aims of the research. There are no clear shreds of evidence regarding the methods followed and the factors considered in the selection of the participants in the survey. Moreover, there is no such discussion about the non-respondents in the research (Long, French & Brooks, 2020).
Methods of Data Collection
The authors in the article only mentioned the route through which the collected data. They effectively mention collecting narrative data from 116 participants through social media posts and emails. These contemplate the fact that the data collection method which relates to a qualitative aspect was justified. However, the focus groups were introduced in the research. It suggested that the members of the public who requested information about the health and welfare or commented on the pandemic aspects via mail or social media were the potential members who are considered for the research.
The research mentions having collected narrative data through males and social media posts. Therefore the researcher clearly mentions how data were collected. However, the search did not effectively justify the methods chosen for the research. No explicit information was provided regarding the aspects that were considered while collecting the data although they were provided to some extent while analyzing the data. Moreover, the researcher has not discussed the saturation of data. Therefore, it can be contemplated that all the data collection aspects were not effectively mentioned in the research.
