Human behavior will determine how fast COVID-19 spreads and mortality.
Therefore, behavioral science must be at the center of the public health response. While response agencies move quickly to issue awareness-raising tips and educate the public and professionals on what steps to take to minimize transmission, behavior change in the face of an impending pandemic may be slow and it may be too late to avoid hundreds or thousands of potentially preventable deaths.
It is important that we learn the lessons of previous incidents and act now to ensure that behavioral science is at the center of planning and delivering the public health response designed to mitigate the effects of covid-19.
Experience from past incidents underscores the importance of ensuring that protective behaviors are delineated and behavioral counseling is acted on to the public and health professionals.
The increase in unaffected patients in medical facilities during the SARS outbreak and the low absorption of the H1N1 flu vaccine during the 2009/10 pandemic should serve as a reminder.
Similarly, emergencies such as outbreaks of infectious diseases can lead to spontaneous pro-social and adaptive behaviors in affected populations, which must be understood and guided. A new pandemic will challenge the capacity of any system; The success of our mitigation efforts will inevitably depend on informal family and community care and support networks.
For the public, we must provide actionable information for self-protection and a clear guide to seeking treatment.
There is a science behind how to make information "actionable".
The first step is to accurately identify what behaviors are involved: who should do what, when, and where.
The second is to ensure that people have the ability, opportunity, and motivation to represent desired behaviors.
