“…This finding advances Calo et al’s (2021) results that social media messages that appeal to herd immunity significantly increase individuals’ intentions to accept vaccinations. Similarly, Lazić et al (2021) ’s online experiment showed that nudges to inform participants of the social benefits of herd immunity effectively increased vaccination intentions among participants. Expanding these findings obtained from experiments, our review has shown that cultivating the sentiment of a community can be a useful message to promote vaccine adherence among the public.…”

“…As well as economic considerations, there are many social factors underpinning the adoption of a new control mechanism. Descriptive norms (what the majority of people are doing, and thus what is deemed socially acceptable; [ 59 ]) have been found to influence growers’ decision to partake in control [ 60 ]. Relatedly, a grower’s social network and ability to access trusted information has a strong impact on management practices.…”

How growers make decisions impacts plant disease control

While the spread of plant disease depends strongly on biological factors driving transmission, it also has a human dimension. Disease control depends on decisions made by individual growers, who are in turn influenced by a broad range of factors. Despite this, human behaviour has rarely been included in plant epidemic models. Considering Cassava Brown Streak Disease, we model how the perceived increase in profit due to disease management influences participation in clean seed systems (CSS). Our models are rooted in game theory, with growers making strategic decisions based on the expected profitability of different control strategies. We find that both the information used by growers to assess profitability and the perception of economic and epidemiological parameters influence long-term participation in the CSS. Over-estimation of infection risk leads to lower participation in the CSS, as growers perceive that paying for the CSS will be futile. Additionally, even though good disease management can be achieved through the implementation of CSS, and a scenario where all controllers use the CSS is achievable when growers base their decision on the average of their entire strategy, CBSD is rarely eliminated from the system. These results are robust to stochastic and spatial effects. Our work highlights the importance of including human behaviour in plant disease models, but also the significance of how that behaviour is included.

“…The present study showed that participants were more inclined to participate in a vaccination program that also included an educational component. Education concerning population immunity (e.g., communicating the social benefits of population immunity and designing educational materials that visually demonstrate its effects) is also important in increasing understanding of disease prevention, and hence, willingness to get vaccinated, as shown in previous studies [ 73 ].…”

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices toward Dengue Fever, Vector Control, and Vaccine Acceptance Among the General Population in Countries from Latin America and Asia Pacific: A Cross-Sectional Study (GEMKAP)

et al. 2023

Dengue represents a major public health concern. With effective vaccines in development, it is important to identify motivational factors to maximize dengue vaccine uptake. A cross-sectional, quantitative, electronic survey was administered to a nationally representative adult population (n = 3800) in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Willingness to vaccinate against dengue, and Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) toward dengue, vector control, prevention, and vaccination were determined. The Capability, Opportunity, Motivation for Behavior change (COM-B) framework was used to identify factors correlated with dengue vaccine(s) uptake. KAP scores (standardized, 0–100% scale) resulted in a low global score for Knowledge (48%) and Practice (44%), and a moderate score for Attitude (66%); scores were comparable across countries. Of all respondents, 53% had a high willingness (Score: 8–10/10) to vaccinate against dengue, which was higher (59%) in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico) than in Asia Pacific (40%) (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore). Key factors significantly (p < 0.05) associated with increased willingness to vaccinate included accessibility to the public (subsidies and incentives) and trust in the healthcare system and government. A common approach to dengue prevention across endemic countries––with some country-specific customization, including education, vaccination, and vector control (multi-pronged)––may reduce dengue burden and improve outcomes.
