Ipsos’ latest Perils of Perception study highlights public misperceptions across 32 countries about the proportion of people who die from diseases, violence, transport injuries and other causes. While patterns differ in different countries, overall on average people tend to underestimate how many deaths are caused by cancers and cardiovascular disease, and overestimate how many are caused by transport injuries, substance misuse and violence.
Coronavirus Opinion and Reaction - Ipsos MORIIpsos UK
A new global poll by Ipsos MORI shows the extent to which the UK public may change their behaviours because of the threat of the virus, including 14% saying they would avoid contact with people of Chinese origin or appearance.
The threat of the Covid-19 could have a significant impact on the UK public’s behaviour, according to an Ipsos survey conducted online from February 7 to 9, 2020 among 8,001 adults aged 16 (18) -74 in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Two-thirds of people in the UK say they would consider avoiding travelling to infected countries or areas (65%), while three in ten would avoid large gatherings of people or travelling by air for holidays (both 29%). A quarter say they would avoid shaking hands with others (26%), and one in five say they would avoid travelling by public transport (22%).
This study did not have any external sponsors or partners. It was initiated and run by Ipsos with the intention to share our understanding about the world we live in and how citizens around the globe think and feel about their world.
With just a few weeks to go before the 2020 presidential election in the US, Ipsos MORI hosted this webinar to explore the complexities and current uncertainties regarding the process and outcome of the election.

NHS surges in final Issues Index ahead of the 2019 General Election
• The proportion of Britons who say the NHS is one of the most important issues facing the country has risen 18 percentage points since October to 54 per cent, close to Brexit which has fallen by six points to 57 per cent this month
• Brexit remains the single biggest issue by a long way and is also the most important issue influencing how people might vote
• Concern about crime and pollution has fallen while worry about the economy has spiked
COVID-19: Conspiracies and Confusions and the link with Social MediaIpsos UK
There is a toxic mix between underlying beliefs, misleading information and how people act around the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic according to a new survey by Ipsos MORI and The Policy Institute and King's College London.
The Beat is an Ipsos always on community of engaged consumers, representative of the UK population, for rapid understanding of consumer views. In this edition, we explore people’s views on the Brexit vote 5 years on, and how they feel about the vote they made.
On 6 December 2017, in Central London, we looked back at the events of 2017 and explored whether we’re looking to the future through a lens of pessimism or optimism. Ben Page also outlined findings from our global survey – Perils of Perception – where we examine people across 33 countries and look at how wrong we are about the society we live in, from predicting the levels of immigration and obesity to guessing how many people have access to the internet.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, women of all ages across Britain are more pessimistic and worried than their male counterparts. This new webinar explores why.
Looking at data around the balance of responsibility and mental load at work and at home for women compared to men, the additional stresses that the pandemic has put on women of all ages, and the specific damages it has made to women's work-life balances and future ability to progress in a career, our expert speakers will examine how the disease - despite being more prevalent in men - might be more damaging to women.
Ipsos has analysed data from more than 2,000 women of working age across Britain to examine what is happening, explore the causes and explain what can be done to better support those women being hit hardest by the pandemic.

Public Attitudes towards immigration: August 2019Ipsos UK
In the latest survey by Ipsos MORI for IMIX, more Britons believe migration has had a positive impact on Britain (47%) than a negative effect (29%). Those who voted to remain in the EU in 2016 are significantly less likely to believe migration has a negative impact on Britain. Only 12% of remainers think so, compared to almost of (47%) of leave voters. However, while remainers’ views have stayed broadly stable since October 2016, leavers have become less negative (six percentage point down from 53%).
Still, over half of Britons (54%) say they want to see the number of immigrants coming to Britain reduced. Three in ten would like to see numbers stay the same while only 9% want an increase. However, there has been a continuing decrease in the level of disagreement over the last four years. In June 2015, two-thirds (66%) of respondents wanted to see a reduction in the number of immigrants coming to Britain, 12 percentage points higher than it is today.
While a majority want to see a reduction in the overall numbers of immigrants, when asked about specific occupations the public’s opinion is more nuanced. In fact, almost half say they want to see an increase in the number of nurses (49%) and doctors (47%) coming to the UK from the European Union after Britain leaves– consistent with findings from December 2018. However, compared to six months ago more people want to see an increase in care home workers (32% vs 28%) and academics (29% vs 22%).
The effects of immigration continue to split opinion. While 30% believe immigration is good for the standard of living for people already living in Britain, 36% disagree. Furthermore, two-thirds (67%) believe that migration puts pressure on public services and housing. People are also divided over the integration of cultures. Half of Britons (49%) agree that immigration enriches the UK culture and makes it a more interesting place to live, however six in ten (61%) believe that too often, migrants don’t integrate or follow British customs.
Opinion is also split on how Brexit will impact immigration. A quarter (26%) of Britons believe the number of immigrants entering the UK illegally from other EU countries will increase while one in five (21%) believe it will decrease. A third (34%) believe it will stay the same.
Dissatisfaction with the government’s response to immigration has remained the same since Boris Johnson entered No. 10. In December 2018, 57% felt dissatisfied with how Theresa May’s government was dealing with immigration, while 59% are dissatisfied with Boris Johnson’s actions so far.
Ipsos Survey: Reactions to Brexit in 16 countriesIpsos UK
A major new Ipsos survey across 16 countries provides an insight into how major countries have reacted to Brexit, and what comes next for Britain and the EU. The survey, among online adults aged under 65 in in Belgium, France, Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and seven non-European countries (Canada, US, Japan, Russia, India, Australia and South Africa) provides our first measure of international public opinion.
A new global survey in 25 countries looking at what issues worry the world. This is the first wave of this monthly survey, which finds that Britons are the most worried out of all 25 countries about immigration and rising extremism. However, Britons are relatively positive about the direction the country is headed in, with 44% saying they think things are going in the right direction.
Ipsos MORI Scotland Election 2019 Political MonitorIpsos UK
With two weeks to go until the general election, Ipsos MORI’s Scottish Political Monitor poll run in partnership with STV News suggests the SNP is currently on course to win most votes, with the Conservatives in second place and Labour faring worse in third.
Economic optimism has fallen to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor. The new poll, conducted between 13-16 March, so before some of this week’s emergency measures were announced, shows seven in ten (69%) now say they think the economy will get worse in the next 12 months – this is up from 42% in February. Just 15% think that the economy will improve, leaving an Economic Optimism Index score of -54. The last time pessimism was this low was in November 2008 (at its worst during the 2008 crisis 75% thought the economy would get worse). Despite this pessimism, around half (49%) believe the Government is handling the coronavirus outbreak well (35% say badly).
Public Health England: Public awareness and opinion survey 2016Ipsos UK
Public Health England (PHE) commissioned Ipsos MORI to carry out quantitative research into the general public’s awareness of and concern about different health issues, and their awareness, knowledge, and opinions towards PHE. This report outlines the findings of the third wave of the research, following on from previous waves in 2015, 2014, and a baseline wave in 2013/2014.
The research found that half of the general public have heard of PHE, showing a steady increase between 2014 and 2016. Similarly, the public are more confident in PHE’s advice, and more likely to trust their advice on healthy living and health threats.

Global poll finds that unemployment continues to be the lead worry around the world — but Britons are more worried about the rise of extremism than any other country in the study. Almost seven in ten Britons (68%) think the county is on the wrong track.
On 31 January 2017, Ipsos held a major debate where we dissected the momentous political events of 2016 and looked forward to key elections in 2017. Our high profile pollsters from around the world examined political discontent and uncertainty, the key forces that are driving it and where in the world it is most prevalent and why. The panel included experts on the political context and public opinion in Britain, France, Italy, the US, Canada and South Africa, providing a wide range of perspectives on the key political challenges of our time.
Sexual orientation and attitudes to LGBTQ+ in BritainIpsos UK
New Ipsos MORI research shows that Britons think LGBTQ+ communities face discrimination in Britain today, but opinion is split regarding the progression of LGBTQ+ rights.

Given the global elite’s self-flagellation every year over declining trust in business and society, we have now reviewed all the global long-term trends on the subject from the 1960’s onwards, to look at the extent to which the media’s obsession with declining trust is actually valid, and how much it matters.
We find that trust in experts and science is actually rising in many countries, that “trust” on its own is pretty nebulous - heavily driven by things leaders cannot directly affect, and that it is most meaningful to look at “trust to do what” – in short, there is a problem, but it is not a new crisis, nor is it particularly acute.

On 25 March 1957 it will be 60 years since Belgium, France, West-Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands signed the Treaty of Rome, establishing the European Economic Community, the legal basis of today’s European Union (EU). To mark this, Ipsos is releasing a new global survey across 25 countries. The survey results suggest that the global public see some reasons to celebrate, with on average half considering the European project to have made Europe stronger. The findings also show that people almost twice as likely to say the project has more success than failures (by 34% to 19%), although around one in four say the positives and negatives cancel each other out. The survey was carried out among online adults aged under 65 in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States. In the nine EU countries surveyed, people are most likely to praise the contributions the European project has made to the ease of travel and trade between European countries, and the peaceful relationships between the European nations.

Deaths from fall-related traumatic brain injuries are on the rise in U.S.Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Deaths due to traumatic brain injuries from falls have risen in recent years, according to new CDC data. Here's more:
•Overall trends: From 2008-2017, the number of TBI-related deaths from falls increased 17%, leading to more than 17,400 such deaths in 2017.
•Demographics: In 2017, the rate of such deaths was highest in males and in people aged 75 and older. In fact, the death rate in this age group was eight times more than for those 55-74.
•Implications: Given the study's findings, and the aging population in the U.S., health care providers ought to educate the elderly and their families about the risk of falls, the report authors conclude.
COVID-19 data configuration and statistical analysisAnshJAIN50
The following report aims to identify the primary factors influencing the spread of Covid-19. To do this, I have analyzed the rate of spread in MEDCs and LEDCs - countries differing significantly in development. MEDCs, being more economically developed, tend to have superior healthcare, higher life expectancy, and generally better infrastructure, contrasting with LEDCs. This report aims to understand whether the characteristics of MEDCs and LEDCs can significantly impact the rate of spread of Covid-19, as well as more obscure factors that could have a greater impact than previously thought. In this report we will be examining 3 different MEDCs and LEDCs to develop a clear conclusion on whether we believe a country's development correlates to the rate of spread of Covid-19.
Burden of cardiovascular diseases in Indians: Estimating trends of coronary a...Apollo Hospitals
The global trends in disease specific mortalities indicate that ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the leading cause of death in age group ≥60 years. It is also being recognized that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their risk factors are emerging as primary health problems in India with all socioeconomic groups being equally vulnerable. Though the high mortality rates due to CVDs in India may have major economic repercussions, the analysis on economic impact of CVDs remains incomplete, because of inadequate coverage of these diseases in India's vital event registration and absence of surveillance systems for disease specific mortality data. The per capita expenditure on health by public sector is very low making the poor to go for costly private healthcare facilities. We discuss here the burden of CAD and its risk factors in India and need for using population and individual based prevention strategies to halt and reverse the CVD epidemic. The country will need to create data for technical and operational factors for making prevention and control of CVDs feasible. National and international multidisciplinary collaborations will be needed to address the challenge posed by CVDs.

The use of medical technology has grown dramatically over the last decade, according to the federal government's annual health report.
That's just one finding in the massive "Health, United States, 2009," a snapshot of Americans' health, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiles yearly as "an essential step in making sound health policy and setting research and program priorities."
This year's edition, the 33rd, includes a special section on medical technology, which includes procedures, tests, drugs, devices, and support systems such as computerized records. The principal findings in this section include:

Ipsos MORI Social Media Britain November 2019Ipsos UK
The key findings of the November 2019 edition of our new Social Media Britain report - powered by Synthesio - include:
Overall Brexit continued to lead the conversation in November – however there was a 59% increase in NHS related mentions vs. October. This was driven in part by Corbyn revealing documents that he says indicate a Conservative government would sell off the NHS as part of a US trade deal.
The general election, which is the focus of our deep dive this month, as well as the London Bridge terror attack - both contributed to sizeable shifts in social conversation.
Following the ITV Leaders Debate, there was a sharp increase in conversation around the general election. The release of the Labour and Conservative manifestos seeing further spikes in volume towards the end of November.
When comparing Johnson and Corbyn activity on Twitter in November there were some notable differences in the focus of their posts. Whilst Brexit was mentioned across 42% of Johnson’s tweets – it was only mentioned within 6% of Corbyn’s. Corbyn focused mainly on the NHS, which was mentioned in just over a third of his tweets.
Ipsos MORI 2019 General Election Campign Tracker - HousingIpsos UK
New research from Ipsos MORI finds the major housing parties included in Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat manifestos are popular, but the public also have strong doubts that anyone will improve housing if elected.
While the public in NATO member states tend to see the Alliance as a force for good, favourability is low in a number of key member states, according to a new survey ahead of the NATO Leaders Meeting on 4 December.
The research, by the Policy Institute at King’s College London and Ipsos MORI, finds that across 11 NATO countries surveyed1, 43% of the public who know at least a little about the Alliance have a favourable view of it, while 14% have an unfavourable view and 43% have a neutral view.
Favourability towards NATO is highest in Poland (60%), the US (56%), Canada (55%) and Britain (50%), but low in some key member states:
Germany: 30%
France: 31%
Italy: 35%
Spain 29%
But in the NATO countries polled, more people agree (40%) than disagree (14%) that the organisation is a force for good in the world, while 26% have a neutral view.
Global Infrastructure Index 2019 - Great BritainIpsos UK
Four in ten Britons, 40%, choose solar energy infrastructure from a list of 14 sectors as a priority for investment in Britain, with 36% choosing wind energy. Flood defences (39%) and rail infrastructure (39%) are also among top priorities.
Environmental impact is top-ranked among seven possible considerations in planning future infrastructure plans by 28% - up from 19% in a similar question asked in 2017 - followed by achieving the highest possible quality (21%) and future resilience (17%). Local disruption and private/public ownership of infrastructure are most likely to be ranked bottom of all factors.
Just over a fifth (22%) agree that increased spending on infrastructure should be funded by higher taxes or government borrowing, but 53% think public spending is already high so that taxes and government borrowing should not be increased to improve infrastructure. Six in ten, 62%, would prefer technical experts rather than elected politicians to make decisions about new infrastructure, and by 57% to 14% Britons choose maintaining and repairing existing infrastructure before spending on new infrastructure.
The findings come from the latest Global Infrastructure Index survey conducted by Ipsos MORI in partnership with the GIIA in 28 countries across the world including Britain.
Oxford Citizens Assembly on Climate ChangeIpsos UK
Following Oxford City Council’s declaration of a climate emergency in January 2019, Ipsos MORI were commissioned to conduct a Citizens Assembly on Climate Change in Oxford. Ipsos MORI recruited 50 Oxford residents to be Assembly Members who met over two weekends. They were tasked with responding to the following question: “The UK has legislation to reach ‘net zero’ by 2050. Should Oxford be more proactive and seek to achieve ‘net zero’ sooner than 2050?”, as well as discussing five key themes: waste reduction, buildings, transport, biodiversity & offsetting and renewable energy.
NHS workforce - Omnibus Survey by Ipsos MORIIpsos UK
A recent Omnibus survey by Ipsos MORI shows that four in five (79%) believe that the NHS does not have enough staff to provide a good service, only 7% believe that it has the right amount, while 6% think it has too many. Therefore, pessimism about the future of staff shortages comes as no great surprise. Overall, 56% believe that staff shortages will get worse over the next few years and this rises to 64% among those who think there are currently not enough staff.
Just over four in five (83%) also believe that NHS staff are currently overworked. The pre-war generation are less likely to believe this than younger generations, with only 69% agreeing compared with 84% to 85% across younger generations.
With widespread belief that NHS staff are overworked and that this is likely to get worse, it is perhaps unsurprising that only half of the public (50%) would encourage a friend or family member to consider a career in the NHS. Those close to the NHS (i.e. those who either work in the NHS or have a close family member or friend working for the NHS) are more likely to suggest it as a career path than those that do not have a connection (57% and 47% respectively). Similarly, three in five of those that are close to the NHS (60%) believe that it is a good employer, while this decreases to half of those without an affiliation (50%).
World Questions: What helps or hinders women's equality?Ipsos UK
Men less likely than women to need intelligence and hard work to get ahead, the public say!
New research to support the launch of King’s College London’s World Questions event series, which begins with Hillary Rodham Clinton and Julia Gillard on 13 November, reveals public perceptions of what helps or hinders women’s equality in Britain and around the world.

The October 2019 Ipsos MORI Issues Index confirms that Brexit remains the biggest concern facing Britain in the eyes of the public. Two thirds of Britons mention Britain’s exit from the EU as a big issue (63%), similar to the September score of 65 per cent, while just over half see it as the single biggest worry (52%). Fieldwork was carried out while MPs were voting on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal but prior to decision to call a General Election.
In the latest Ipsos MORI poll, with fieldwork conducted before the election was called, the Conservatives have taken a 17-point lead over Labour, significantly improving on their position in September.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
