Media Coverage of Psychiatric Neurosurgery: Cross-national Investigations of Public Reactions and Attitudes
FY 2015-16
Summary
Mass media circulates arguments and images that widely shape perceptions and attitudes of the public and policy-makers about biotechnology and new medical procedures. While media reports can fuel unguarded optimism for the applications to human health and well-being of neuroscience research, they can also promote realistic understanding of possible outcomes, consequences and risks of related discoveries. This arm of the project is concerned with the media discourse around psychiatric neurosurgery, and the views and values that stakeholders hold about psychiatric neurosurgery in response, with a focus on the countries that are part of this consortium and that bring complementary histories to the analytic questions.
