I'll be reading The Psychology of Risk by Breakwell. Some notes and comments might ensue in a following thread. #RiskPsychology Image
Risk is about constructing and evaluating potential events which might affect our assets and goals. This is not merely a technical, descriptive activity. It involves value judgments and depends on how we approach the matter. Perceptions, attitudes and beliefs become important.
One of my concerns is that #psychology gets framed in a unidirectional sense. #RiskMgmt shouldn't be reduced to structures for dealing with uninformed underlings. Often co-workers will be the ones with expertise critical for assessing risk. Communication should be bi-directional.

Tabulated the topline results released by the #recoverytrial team on #hydroxychloroquine & #dexamethasone, and went over their protocol (recoverytrial.net/results) to better digest them.

Basic stuff:
- hospitalized patients @ 175 NHS centres
- open label, 5 initial arms
- thread—
Important point from #RECOVERYTrial protocol

- if a patient had a #contraindication to one of the intervention arms, according to the clinical care team at the site, that particular arm was not available to that patient at the time of #randomization
So if a patient enrolled in #recoverytrial had a contraindication to #dexamethasone, that patient was not allowed to be randomized to that arm. So the results need to be interpreted in the context of no contraindication to steroids: already on steroids, #immunosuppression, etc.
