Videogames That Encourage Healthy Behavior Did Not Alter Fasting Insulin or Other Diabetes Risks in Children

Videogames That Encourage Healthy Behavior Did Not Alter Fasting Insulin or Other Diabetes Risks in Children | Nudges | Scoop.it

The lack of differences may indicate that games cannot change dietary behaviors and thereby not change-related clinical outcomes. Alternatively, there seem to have been changes in (1) the types of videogames children expect and like to play since a pilot study was conducted, (2) productization challenges, and/or (3) problems in staff management of the trial. All may have contributed to the lack of effect.

Self-Reported Survey Data: Fast & Reliable, or Imprecise & Risky?

Self-Reported Survey Data: Fast & Reliable, or Imprecise & Risky? | Nudges | Scoop.it

Human beings are creatures of habit. Ours days have a particular rhythm to them, and behaviours we exhibit today are generally indicative of how we behaved yesterday and will behave tomorrow. Yet for how routine our lives can be, behavioural research conducted the last 50 years has found that people tend to struggle when asked to recall specific details about their day-to-day life.

Nudging healthy and sustainable food choices

Nudging healthy and sustainable food choices | Nudges | Scoop.it

In recent years, it has been increasingly recognized that food choices are not only central to health, but also to global sustainability. In particular, production and consumption of meat have been linked to dying prematurely, as well as proven to be a central source of CO2 emissions responsible for ~15% of the total global CO2 emission. Thus, changing people’s diets from a meat-based to a vegetarian, may prove to be a necessary step in the battle against what has become a global food–health crisis as well as climate change.

New Field Experiment: How to Nudge Hospital Visitors

New Field Experiment: How to Nudge Hospital Visitors | Nudges | Scoop.it

One aspect of COVID-19 prevention, however, was not something foreign to the general populace. Basic hand hygiene is preached from a young age as a means of illness prevention, and health organisations made sure to emphasise that the simple act of washing one’s hands or using an alcohol-based sanitiser may help curb the spread disease in this new context too. Yet for how important hand cleansing is in keeping individuals and the community safe, compliance can be difficult to achieve, and even harder to measure.

8 Criticisms of suspended coffees

8 Criticisms of suspended coffees | Nudges | Scoop.it

After Suspended Coffee’s initial wave of popularity on the social media, critics have come out of the woodwork to cut down the idea. Some have been blatantly trolls, some have been hopelessly cynical, and some have made good points. Here is a summary of some of the criticisms. None have dampened my belief that this is a good idea.

Homo Oeconomicus at the Café: A Field Experiment on 'Suspended Coffee'

Homo Oeconomicus at the Café: A Field Experiment on 'Suspended Coffee' | Nudges | Scoop.it
Individuals engage in daily behaviours that are often at issue with self-interest and rationality. This paper supports the thesis of inadequacy of the homo oeconomicus model, providing results of a field experiment conducted in the city of Naples (Italy) on the practice of “suspended coffee” (caffè sospeso). The suspended coffee tradition was initially launched in Naples and consists in people purchasing two coffees, one to drink on the spot and one to be left “suspended” for someone else to drink for free. A convenience sample of café clients completed a self-administered questionnaire. Their answers were examined in relation to the declared choice and consequent purchase of a suspended coffee.

Non-recours aux prestations sociales : le manque d'information en tête des motifs selon les Français

Non-recours aux prestations sociales : le manque d'information en tête des motifs selon les Français | Nudges | Scoop.it
La quantification et l’identification des causes du non recours sont des enjeux majeurs pour la lutte contre la pauvreté. Plusieurs études récentes, portant sur différentes prestations sociales, montrent que le non-recours atteint fréquemment des niveaux supérieurs à 30 % en France. C’est le cas du RSA (34 % de non-recours) ou encore du minimum vieillesse (50 % de non-recours pour les personnes seules).

The contribution of behavioural science to addressing the social and wider determinants of health: evidence review

The contribution of behavioural science to addressing the social and wider determinants of health: evidence review | Nudges | Scoop.it

Health inequalities within and between countries remain a major public health problem despite extensive evidence and proposed interventions from two approaches to health equity: individually oriented behaviour change and the social or wider determinants of health. While substantial evidence exists within each, there is little integration and intersections are seldom developed. Consilience at practice, policy and research levels could contribute to effectively alleviating the burden of ill health among poor and disadvantaged people.

Energy Medicine – Noise-Based Pseudoscience

Energy Medicine – Noise-Based Pseudoscience | Nudges | Scoop.it

So-called complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is largely philosophy-based medicine rather than science based. There are a few core concepts that are endlessly recycled in various forms, but it is mythology and culture, not grounded in the rigorous methods of science that allow us to tell the difference between our satisfying fantasies and hard reality. Sometimes proponents of such philosophies try to cloak their beliefs in the appearance of science, resulting in what we simply call pseudoscience.

Pseudoscientific Health Beliefs and the Perceived Frequency of Causal Relationships

Pseudoscientific Health Beliefs and the Perceived Frequency of Causal Relationships | Nudges | Scoop.it

There is a meaningful relationship between the perceived frequency of the outcome occurring in the presence and absence of the putative cause (i.e., contingency learning), and judgements of causality across a range of health beliefs, including popular complementary and alternative medicine and therapies. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the relationship between contingency estimation and causal judgement on real-world health beliefs, in particular beliefs relating to CAM and judgements of treatment efficacy. This finding is promising as it suggests that strategies that effectively improve people’s ability to accurately infer the likelihood of recovery from an illness with and without the alternative therapy should thus change their beliefs about the efficacy of the treatment when used for that purpose.

Healthcare is broken. Chronic diseases are eating up an increasing share of healthcare resources in every healthcare system across the world in ways that are not sustainable. Yes, there is a golden age of innovation happening in the form of new technologies like gene therapy, neural technology, immunotherapy, and increasingly the impact of AI on diagnoses and drug development, but we can’t let these extraordinary technological advances blind us to the tragedy of modern healthcare and to the much neglected miracle drug right in front of us: our daily behaviors. Whether for preventing disease or optimizing the treatment of disease, behavior is indeed a miracle drug.

When do Default Nudges Work?

When do Default Nudges Work? | Nudges | Scoop.it

Nudging is a burgeoning topic in science and in policy, but evidence on the effectiveness of nudges among differentially-incentivized groups is lacking. This paper exploits regional variations in the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine in Sweden to examine the effect of a nudge on groups whose intrinsic incentives are different: 16-17-year-olds, for whom Covid-19 is not dangerous, and 50-59-year-olds, who face a substantial risk of death or severe dis-ease. We find a significantly stronger response in the younger group, consistent with the theory that nudges are more effective for choices that are not meaningful to the individual.

If our eyes are “the window to our souls,” as Shakespeare said, then how we dress is like a wide-screen TV to our self-esteem. You can tell a lot about others by how they dress and present themselves, and a look around any crowd today tells you that most people are NOT happy campers. Depression, anxiety, self-loathing, a need to fit in – it’s all on display, 24/7. Freud would have a field day; he was always a fastidious dresser.

Nudge units have huge potential for the insurance sector in particular. Insurance companies face an uphill battle when it comes to public opinion: a 2018 survey reported that 43% of people do not trust their insurers, while only 42% believe that insurers act in the best interest of their customers. In fact, research has found that between 25–35% of people see insurance fraud as an ethical practice. It’s no wonder that dishonest claims are such a widespread problem, estimated to cost $40 billion each year in the U.S. alone.

Delaying medication approval by even a few hours impedes patient access to treatment and increases the risk of abandonment.
