I read in Scientific American that mRNA research is threatened in the US (tinyurl.com/4evz7dah).

Our previous research found that during the 3rd COVID-19 wave in Hungary, believers of conspiracy theories were more likely to refuse mRNA vaccines.

We find that, besides the cohesion of social networks around home, the diversity of connections to distant places is negatively correlated with the probability of antidepressant use. However, the significance of LC as a predictor of antidepressant use vanishes at high levels of SD.

Then, we proxy bonding social capital with a local cohesion (LC) indicator, which captures the tendency to participate in cohesive networks in subjects’ hometowns. We define an SD index that captures the capacity to connect diverse communities in distant towns as a proxy for bridging social capital.

Testing the correlation between network cohesion measured by the clustering coefficient and antidepressant use, we find a reversed U-shape. This result signals that both network cohesion and diversity can be important for mental health.

We link the prescription data to the iWiW online social network of 277,344 small-town residents on the individual level. This provides us an informative scale for the social network analysis of mental health.
