GLP Presents - Loneliness, Trust, and Hope: The Lives of Young People

A Shot in the Arm Podcast (shotarmpodcast) September 22, 2024 3:47 am

"Public trust is absolutely key to global health security, without trust skepticism, mis- and disinformation flourish, undermining societies’ abilities to prepare and respond to crises. When trust increases, individuals are more likely to cooperate with governments and institutions, and with each other.”

 - Professor Heidi Larson, Co-Founder and Chair, Global Listening Project

Enhancing crisis readiness by building trust.

As the world transitions to post COVID-19 recovery, it also faces new threats - from climate disruption to conflict, and new and existing pandemics. The need to build public trust & collaboration for crisis preparedness becomes urgent.

Societal Preparedness Index

The Societal Preparedness Index maps and measures key elements of preparedness— including willingness to cooperation, capacity to organize, and ability to cope – to be able to respond to future crises, whether disease outbreaks or pandemics, natural disasters or conflicts.

Other research projects

As part of our ongoing work to deepen our understanding of the core drivers of societal preparedness, we are conducting further research into different core domains such as trust in technology, mental health and gender social norms.
