COVID-19 research agenda: Network of findings in the literature from 2019 to 2022

Abstract

The public agenda, which reflects the main themes and topics of discussion between the government and the public, has shifted toward debating the pandemic’s impact on public opinion and government initiatives without considering the findings reported in the literature as indicators of the phenomenon. The objective of the present work was to establish the networks inferred from the relationships between findings reported in the literature from 2019 to 2022 regarding political and social actors in the field of social risk communication. The results warn of the prevalence of collateral axes to mobility as a restrictive effect of confinement policies and distancing of people. The analysis of health policies is recommended to anticipate conflict scenarios between the parties involved.
