A Selection of Readings
| | |  | | Dear Colleague,
In an attempt to help in these unsettling times that are dominated by news – and, sadly, fake news – about coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic, our editorial team has put together a selection of peer-reviewed scientific literature for those who want to read some science and look at evidence. We hope you'll find some food for thought in the free access journal articles that we link to below. They cover 4 broad themes: (1) Public trust in the face of pandemics and learning from past experience; (2) How we communicate health information; (3) The risk of suicide in older adults in epidemics/pandemics; (4) Not all adverse events are negative.
We are still there for you – let us get through this together!

| | | | | The Psychology of Pandemics – A Selection of Readings |
| | | | | | 1. Public trust in the face of pandemics and learning from past experience
A special section of the journal European Psychologist looked at rebuilding public trust in preparation for the next pandemic in light of the outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) 2002–2003, H5N1 (avian influenza) 2005–2006, and the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic in 2009. Did we succeed?

| | | | | | 2. How we communicate health information
A special issue of Journal of Media Psychology was devoted to exploring trends in health communication: How can we make sure that health information is communicated well and people can take the appropriate action for their health? Aside from the Editorial, we thought two articles examining the role of social media in conveying health messages would be of particular interest during the coronavirus crisis.

| | | | | | 3. The risk of suicide in older adults during epidemics/pandemics
Research published in our journal Crisis found an increase in suicide among adults aged 65 plus during the 2003 SARS epidemic in Hong Kong. The qualitative exploration of suicide motives gives food for thought on how we can ensure the well-being of older adults during this pandemic.

| | | | | | 4. Not all adverse events are negative
As many people are discovering, living in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic involves some obvious hardships, but it is not all negative. Rather, many of us are also discovering that there are some surprising positive outcomes arising from the experience. A recent article in the European Journal of Health Psychology systemically reviews the research on adversity and its potential for increasing resilience and thriving, and gives useful insights into the practical implications.
