“…Indeed, as showed by other studies on the role of ethnicity in modifying the relationship between incentives and health behaviour change ( 43 , 44 ), it is possible that for various populations and cultural backgrounds, the observed impacts of financial and legal incentives would differ. Thus, caution should be used when interpreting our findings.…”

Vaccine hesitancy became a more and more important issue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the emergence of new variants, many international health agencies have already begun administering booster doses of the vaccine in response to these threats. Studies have emphasized the effectiveness of different types of incentive-based strategies to increase vaccination behaviors. The purpose of the present study was to identify the correlation between different types of incentives (legal or financial) with people’s intentions to get a COVID-19 booster vaccine. We conducted a cross-sectional study between 29 January 2022 and 03 February 2022. An online quantitative survey was carried out in Italy. One thousand and twenty-two Italian adults were recruited by a professional panel provider. Descriptive statistics were computed for the five variables concerning the incentives (monetary, tax, fee, health certification, travel) toward vaccination. A general linear model (GLM) was then computed to compare the scores of the five different variables within the subjects. The general linear model showed a significant within-subjects main effect. Post-hoc comparisons showed that among the financial incentive, the monetary reward is rated lower than all the others. Tax and fees both resulted lower than both the legal incentives. Finally, COVID-19 health certification and travel did not result significantly different from each other. This study offers an important contribution to public policy literature and to policymakers in their efforts to explain and steer booster vaccination acceptance while facing an ongoing pandemic.

“…The trial is ongoing. The same group utilized the principles of behavioural economics to test the effectiveness of financial incentives for improving outcomes [38 ▪ ]. They gave participants up to $300 to perform low, medium, or high-frequency diabetes self-management behaviours, such as checking and uploading blood glucose logs, attending phone visits or experiencing drops in A1C.…”

Purpose of reviewPatients from ethnic/minority backgrounds or low socioeconomic status face numerous barriers to achieving ideal diabetes care goals. The purpose of this review is to describe the burden of diabetes in vulnerable populations; discuss the etiologic factors leading to health disparities in diabetes; and present challenges and solutions to improving diabetes care through novel diabetes self-management education and support interventions. Recent findingsRecent interventions to alleviate health disparities utilize a combination of community health workers, peer leaders and technology-based approaches to provide diabetes self-management education and support and overcome barriers to diabetes control such as low literacy, difficulty with transportation, and cultural beliefs. These interventions achieve clinically meaningful improvements in blood glucose control as measured by haemoglobin A1C and are effective in addressing psychosocial outcomes such as diabetes distress. Research is underway to address food insecurity through food delivery and use behavioural economics principles to provide financial incentives to diabetes control.

Hypertensive patients often do not make the most favorable choices and behaviors for managing disease. Behavioral economics strategies offer new ideas for guiding patients toward health behavior. The scoping review aimed to summarize behavioral economics strategies designed to improve hypertension self-management behaviors. A literature search was conducted in September 2022 using the following electronic databases: Embase, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wan Fang Database for Chinese Periodicals, and CBM-SinoMed. We screened the literature for experimental studies written in Chinese or English reporting on BE strategies designed to improve self-management behavior in hypertension. We searched 17 820 records and included 18 articles in the final scoping review. We performed qualitative synthesis by the categories of choice architecture. The most common BE strategies were those targeting decision information and decision assistance, such as changing the presentation of information, making information visible, and providing reminders for actions. Most strategies targeted BP, diet, medication adherence, and physical activity behavior. Ten out of 18 studies reported statistically significant improvement in self-management behavior. Further research on BE strategies should focus on addressing the challenges, including changing the decision structure, encompassing a more comprehensive range of target behaviors, and examining the long-term effects of BE strategies.
