This real-life register-based cohort study examined healthcare use in Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2-vaccinated 12β18-years-olds and age-matched controls. Estimates were close to one and do not indicate that BNT162b2 leads to a practically meaningful increase in healthcare use among vaccinated adolescents.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 20 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02090-5
What is the state of trust in scientists around the world? To answer this question, the authors surveyed 71,922 respondents in 68 countries and found that trust in scientists is moderately high.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 15 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02100-6

Language models have become an essential part of the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence (AI) psychology. I discuss 14 methodological considerations that can be used to design more robust, generalizable studies that evaluate the cognitive abilities of language-based AI systems, as well as to accurately interpret the results of these studies.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 08 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-025-02101-z

Luo et al. identify schizophrenia risk loci in East Asians and uncover potential causal genes and therapeutic targets through cross-ancestry GWAS, fine mapping and functional genomics, offering insights into the genetic basis of schizophrenia.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 03 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02078-1
Shen et al. characterize protein signatures in the blood associated with social isolation and loneliness, demonstrating how these link social isolation and loneliness to an increased risk of disease and mortality.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 03 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02088-z
Gheza and Kool show that, in multidimensional environments, people allocate attention to individual distractors on the basis of their interference with the current task. They develop a neural model that supports these findings and suggest that cognitive control theories need to be revised.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 02 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02058-5
We integrated multiomics data to identify genetic targets and pathways involved in problematic alcohol use, which highlighted potential therapeutic targets and emphasized the need for tailored, gene-specific treatment strategies for effective intervention and the prevention of alcohol-related disorders.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 02 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02042-z
Using a machine-learning framework to study the diffusion of biomedical knowledge in the literature, we find that scientific ideas experience popularity booms and busts when knowledge diffusion is constricted, which leads to adverse consequences for science and scientists. Our work highlights the need for research to have an effect on diverse audiences to achieve sustained scientific advancement.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 02 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02069-2
We examined whether the introduction of a calorie labelling policy in England was associated with a change in calories consumed in the out-of-home food sector. Our findings suggest that the introduction of the policy was not associated with a significant decrease in calories purchased or consumed.Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 02 January 2025; doi:10.1038/s41562-024-02095-0
In 2023, four US news media outlets gave disproportionately high coverage to rare homicidal events perpetrated by strangers, including mass and school shootings, yet covered disproportionately few of the more common types of firearm violence, such as domestic violence. We call for responsible media coverage of firearm incidents to realign reporting to reality.
