This event took place on Wednesday 28 September 2022 at 11:30<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n


Inoculation theory is a social psychological communication theory that explains how an attitude or belief can be protected against persuasion or influence in much the same way a body can be protected against disease. Dr. Jon Roozenbeek will be presenting some research from a joint initiative between the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol (https:\/\/inoculation.science\/) on their investigations into the efficacy and impact of inoculation approaches, with a focus on COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
