A pleasure to present “AI in Action: Practical Applications for Researchers” with the brilliant @muskaanp.bsky.social at yesterday’s PGR Conf @notts-psych.bsky.social. We covered LLMs for thematic analysis, web data analysis (NHSBT), and building AI tools. Thanks all who joined and stayed to chat!

Once assigned, the script marks the voucher as “Used” (with a timestamp) to prevent two participants receiving the same code. The script is deployed as a Web Service, which Qualtrics calls in real-time (extracting the voucher code and displaying it to the participant at the end of the survey).

After digging through the Qualtrics community pages, the best solution I found was using a Google Apps Script that retrieves a unique, unused voucher from a Google Sheet.

To contextualise our findings, we analysed media coverage from major news sources alongside Google Trends data for the term ‘infected blood.’ In the UK, media coverage peaked significantly around the IBI announcement, far surpassing coverage in the USA, but declined sharply afterwards.

Results:

1. UK participants showed small (1.86%) decline in perceived safety vs. USA but no changes in risk.
2. Declines in safety perceptions associated with decreased willingness to donate and encourage others in USA, but effects in UK were limited to encouraging others.
