🏝️I'm beachside in #Cyprus presenting #research about how #AI chats, #visualAids, and other scalable communication tools can improve #health and reduce #drugResistance or #AMR. I'll post below about the other #EHPS2026 sessions I catch. Kudos to the @ehps.bsky.social for allowing remote presenters!

What predicts being more or less intent to seek lung #cancer screening? Andriana Theodoropoulou (below) shared insights about eligible adults with #EHPS2026 from a new paper: doi.org/10.1093/abm/... 🔓 💬 In addition to standard #surveyMethods, they coded thought lists to enable multiple regression.

Back to our session on #Health #Communication and #AntibioticStewardship: First, @schneali.bsky.social shared results from a new #openAccess paper. 🫣 When providers could *choose* to ignore diagnostically relevant info, many did...and also prescribed more #antibiotics? WILLFUL ignorance? 👇Thread

What else drives overprescription of #antibiotics? @kevinroche.bsky.social asked Irish GPs. As in many nations, the doctors blamed time pressure, patient expectations, and diagnostic uncertainty. But they also proposed a few solutions! You can follow Kevin at www.researchgate.net/profile/Kevi...

Then @miroslavsirota.bsky.social shared cross-cultural "terminology effects" on correct answering to questions about #antibiotics. "Infection" was more potent than "Resistance". "drug-" or "antibiotic-resistant INFECTIONS" often caused more benefit than "anti-microbial/biotic RESISTANCE" #MedEd
