Health communication has relevance for virtually every aspect of health and well-being, including disease prevention. This review explored the effectiveness communications in enhancing adoption or adherence to behavioural interventions (non-pharmaceutical (NPIs)) related COVID-19. The takes UK as a case study focuses on self-reported behaviours (e.g. social distancing). It also reviews psychosocial determinants adherence. Searches were conducted using PubMed, Scopus, CINAL, ASSIA iCite databases. Eleven thousand five hundred records identified 13 included final sample. Included studies suggest that NPI was generally high, had significant impacts, with key themes clarity consistency, trust control. Based evidence this review, features effective context are (i) information should be conveyed clearly conflicting (mixed) messages avoided; (ii) by trusted sources authorities) (iii) strike balance between being authoritative but avoiding language seen controlling 'you must'). Future research prioritize quantitative, experimental longitudinal designs, focus specifically an intervention, which measure behaviour. article is part theme issue 'The non-pharmaceutical COVID-19 pandemic: evidence'.

The current study reports behavioral observations that were made two events to inform this process. researchers particularly interested four key factors: how (1) within venue, (2) environmental design, (3) staffing and social norms, (4) time across an event, affected personal protective behaviors distancing face-covering use. Data collection was undertaken by trained observers. Adherence generally high, but there is clear evidence these shaped systematic way environment, situational cues, passage during Some instances large-scale non-adherence documented. An analysis dual-process framework suggests ways understand respond supporting target health groups where intervention deemed valuable, such complex or ambiguous contexts.

Social disability is a process or event that significantly disrupts, paralyzes, prevents the formation and/or sustaining of interpersonal social relations required for meeting human needs. When prolonged, ‘disabling’ essential interrelationships can have destructive impact. This especially true in communities where people are highly interdependent and individuals living with disabilities rely upon relationships to prevent isolation decline overall wellbeing. Meanwhile, disaster response systems developed first rescue protect individuals’ ‘bare life’ immediate, bodily We argue these systems, intended mitigate disaster, exacerbate as kind collateral damage. explore this problem it unfolded amidst COVID-19 pandemic two research sites: one located rural, northern Scotland another Midwestern United States.

This was exacerbated United States (U.S.), as risk communication messages from local, state federal officials were rife with conflicting information. In this article, we unpack perils flawed how it puts people at greater for infection other secondary risks stemming mitigation behaviors. choice to engage preventive behaviors, such distancing, wearing facemasks, frequently washing hands, differed dramatically across populations. On one extreme, some individuals, which call under-cautious, hesitant follow guidance regarding putting them COVID-19-associated morbidity. end spectrum is another group, over-cautious, who chose physically remove themselves interactions, going beyond appropriate recommendations experts mitigate risk. group may experience associated pandemic, mental issues, obesity, sedentary lifestyle. infrastructural encountered during must be further explored mitigated. future, these campaigns need target both under-cautious extreme groups can potentially suffer consequences pandemic.
