Effectiveness is likely to rely in part on how much the public trusts the Government\u2019s response. We examined the English public\u2019s trust in the Conservative Government to control the spread of COVID-19 after the initial \u2018crisis\u2019 period.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed eight rounds of a longitudinal survey of 1899 smartphone users aged 18\u201379 in England between October 2020 and December 2021. We fitted a random-effects logit model to identify personal characteristics and opinions associated with trust in the Conservative Government to control the spread of COVID-19.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trust was lowest in January 2021 (28%) and highest in March 2021 (44%). Being older, having lower educational attainment and aligning with the Conservative Party were predictors of higher levels of trust. Conversely, being less deprived, reporting that Government communications were not clear and considering that the measures taken by the Government went too far or not far enough were predictors of being less likely to report a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the Government to control the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Trust in the Government\u2019s response was found to be low throughout the study. Our findings suggest that there may be scope to avoid losing trust by aligning Government actions more closely with scientific advice and public opinion, and through clearer public health messaging. However, it remains unclear whether and how higher trust in the Government\u2019s response would increase compliance with Government advice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckad148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,2]],"date-time":"2023-08-02T16:09:01Z","timestamp":1690992541000},"page":"1155-1162","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Public trust in the Government to control the spread of COVID-19 in England after the first wave\u2014a longitudinal analysis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5446-464X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Boehm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) , London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Boadu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) , London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josephine","family":"Exley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) , London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Al-Haboubi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) , London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Mays","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Policy Innovation and Evaluation Research Unit (PIRU) , London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023120922260309100_ckad148-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1093\/her\/cyr035","article-title":"Compliance with recommendations for pandemic influenza H1N1 2009: the role of trust and personal beliefs","volume":"26","author":"Prati","year":"2011","journal-title":"Health Educ Res"},{"key":"2023120922260309100_ckad148-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2016.11.016","article-title":"Public health and public trust: survey evidence from the Ebola Virus Disease epidemic in Liberia","volume":"172","author":"Blair","year":"2017","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"key":"2023120922260309100_ckad148-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0239247","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0239247","article-title":"Trust and transparency in times of crisis: results from an online survey during the first wave (April 2020) of the COVID-19 epidemic in the UK","volume":"16","author":"Enria","year":"2021","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2023120922260309100_ckad148-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"655","DOI":"10.1177\/0032321720980900","article-title":"Can political trust help to explain elite policy support and public behaviour in times of crisis?
