This dataset refers to posts made by the US EPA on Twitter (https://twitter.com/epa) during the years 2013-2014 and 2017-2018. Twitter (now X) was selected as one of the major social media platforms that government agencies use to communicate with the public. This data was analyzed for several discourse categories (e.g., speech acts, sentiment, expressives, actors, etc.) in a content analysis described in publications associated with this dataset. As of March 29, 2019, the EPA Twitter account had produced over 15,000 tweets and had over 595,000 followers. For reference, as of March 14, 2024, the account had about 623,000 followers. This data refers to a sample of all posts (not retweets and replies) made during the first 16 months of Administrator Gina McCarthy and the first 16 months of Administrator Scott Pruitt.

Trust in one’sphysician drives positive health practices. However, the conceptualization and subsequentoperationalization of trust have become clouded due to the multitude ofapproaches that have resulted in several different measures with varieddimensions and indicators. The objectives of this scoping review were: 1) toidentify those measures of trust, whether newly created or refined in the last10 years, whose reliability and validity had been studied, 2) to compare thoseinstruments’ conceptualizations, dimensions, andindicators, and 3) to discover any new developments in the measurement of trust.This researcher conducted an electronic search of three databases (PubMed,SOCAB, and PsycINFO). Two reviewers screened those selected studies andextracted six distinct keymeasurement tools, of which three had shorter more abbreviated derivatives; ofthese six distinct tools, only one was developed and validated in non-USpopulations. Also extracted were ten dimensions of trust: fidelity, technicalcompetence, communicative competence, interpersonal competence (i.e., caring), honesty,confidentiality, global, behavioral, fairness, and system trust/accountability.Interpersonal competence and fairness emerged as newer dimensions that deservefurther study. A comparative analysis of the indicators of these trustdimensions revealed some discrepancies that deserve further theoretical andpsychometric attention. In addition, the use of item-response theory to assessmeasurement invariance has been a productive addition to the assessment ofexternal validity. This review provides a resource for researchers that willlead to a more uniform understanding of trust thereby setting the basis forfuture theoretical integration and measurement development.
