Herd immunity versus self-interest motives and norms effects on influenza vaccination intention.
Conclusions: Herd-immunity motive is more motivating to induce intention to vaccinate against influenza. The effect of norms appears to depend on the motive, and average levels of norms seem to be more motivating than very low and very high levels. The way vaccination is presented can influence adoption rates, and this should be considered when vaccination rates are communicated in the media.

Lifetime trauma and mortality risk: A systematic review.
Conclusion: Lifetime trauma appears to be associated with mortality risk during adulthood. The strongest evidence stems from larger samples. However, research is sparse and inconclusive. A plethora of additional research is needed to address several limitations within the current literature, which includes utilizing standardized measures of lifetime trauma, replication of effects, and the examination of vulnerable and underrepresented populations.
