Informed Population Health Opinions (INPHO)
The Inaugural Survey: Monkeypox
Informed Population Health Opinions (INPHO) surveys aim to provide an overview of expert opinions on relevant and timely population health questions.
For the inaugural survey, we dive into health topics around the recent monkeypox outbreak. Download the data.
The experts are surveyed on a regular basis to obtain their opinions on pertinent population health topics. Responses are recorded on a hundred-point scale ranging from “Strongly Disagree” (max = -50) to “Strongly Agree” (max = 50) with “No Opinion” or refusing to answer as available options. Experts also express their confidence on a hundred-point scale, where zero indicates extremely low confidence and one hundred extremely high confidence. In the event when the experts have overlapping confidence and agreement levels, the values of their agreement and confidence levels have been slightly "jittered" so that all their responses will be displayed on the scatterplot. This does not change the opinion of the experts, and the true values of their responses are still represented in the histogram and table. Optional comments and additional resources to support the answers are allowed. The results of the survey are displayed below. The INPHO project welcomes the public to submit suggested topics and questions to guide the content of the survey.
