“…For instance, handwashing could be boosted by promoting perceived behavioral control (e.g. through ‘nudging techniques’, Broers et al, 2019a , 2019b ) throughout the pandemic. Moreover, the stable level of adherence to handwashing despite varying circumstances suggests that, if needed, resources may be allocated towards promoting other health behaviors that tend to be harder to sustain.…”

Background: Using a longitudinal design, we investigate how the adherence to handwashing and its underlying socio-psychological predictors evolved over time during the COVID-19 pandemic and under distinct circumstances (e.g. when the crisis was more acute or chronic). Method: We collected data ( N = 753) in Belgium and France at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when the crisis was at its peak (April 2020), and almost a year later (February 2021), when the outbreak was more manageable. Results: Regression models suggest that the compliance with handwashing and its pattern of underlying predictors remained remarkably stable over time despite the variations in contextual factors such as the severity of the health crisis and the stringency of health measures. As such, the findings also highlight the robustness of the models that predict it, namely the Theory of Planned Behavior. The intentions to perform the behavior, the perceived control over it, and being part of the (para)medical field were among the strongest predictors. Conclusions: In practice, the stability of the underlying factors suggests a set of action levers that can be used in communication campaigns aimed at fostering its adherence throughout the pandemic.

“…Specifically, the result is consistent with other evidence of the power of pre-selected options ('default nudges') to positively influence behaviour in other domains. 30,31 When risk assessment information was presented and without pre-selection of decision, the effects of cost-effectiveness (27% increase) and last test date (23% decrease) were significant. In support of our findings, uncertainty about cost-effectiveness has been identified as a barrier to the use of point-of-care tests.…”

Designing an electronic blood-borne virus risk alert to improve uptake of testing

The primary aim of the current study was to test the effect of the presentation design of a test alert system on healthcare workers’ (HCWs’) decision-making regarding blood-borne virus (BBV) testing. The secondary aim was to determine HCWs’ acceptance of the system. An online survey used a within-subjects research design with four design factors as independent variables. The dependent variable was clinical decision. Ten realistic descriptions of hypothetical patients were presented to participants who were asked to decide whether to request BBV testing. The effect of a pre-set course of action to request BBV testing was significant when additional information (cost-effectiveness, date of last BBV test or risk assessment) was not presented, with a 16% increase from 30 to 46% accept decisions. When risk assessment information was presented without a pre-set course of action, the effects of cost-effectiveness (27% increase) and last test date (23% decrease) were significant. The main reason for declining to test was insufficient risk. HCWs’ acceptance of the test alert system was high and resistance was low. We make recommendations from the results for the design of a subsequent real-world trial of the test alert system.

“…The majority of systematic reviews (including [26,29,33,41]) conclude that nudge-type interventions have a positive effect on changing dietary habits; however, almost all of them point out that the results cannot be generalized, and further investigations are required to confirm the actual success of each type of nudge.…”

The Effect of an Evaluative Label on Consumer Perception of Cheeses in Hungary

Traditional strategies (such as education, economic incentives or prohibitions) targeted at altering dietary habits only influence health-conscious consumers. Less health-conscious consumers are less capable of self-regulatory behavior, therefore they are more likely to be influenced through perception. The present study aimed to examine how external cues such as labeling affect the consumer’s perception of foods. The paper includes a case study based on an experiment. In the experiment the same cheese was tested with four different types of labeling (labeled “conventional”, “low salt”, “low fat” and “low salt and low fat”). It was found that the health halo effect worked in the case of cheese testing. In spite of all the samples being identical, the healthy samples were associated with considerably less sensory pleasure. The use of labels by the producers resulted in exactly the opposite effect to that intended. The experiment confirmed the efficiency of the application of this type of behavior-oriented nudge.
