Abstract

The way we respond to information and behave on the basis of it is particularly important when it comes to fighting a viral disease like COVID-19. By using insights and tools from the behavioral sciences, the country's organizations and units from both the public and private sectors can better handle the task. The BEHAVE project summarizes principles from the behavioral science in four different solutions that can help organizations in the short and long term. They focus on behavior-changing communication practices, an initiative that activates companies and enables them to signal their preventive solutions, optimizing preventive solutions based on the principles of behavioral science and ensuring optimal management of risk factors in hospitals.
