摘要

在公共卫生突发事件期间,传播准确的信息和加强对建议行为的遵守对于社区福利至关重要。然而,不确定性、不信任和错误信息会延缓最佳实践的采用。已有的社交网络可以放大和认可来自权威机构的信息,而技术则使点对点信息传播具有可扩展性和快速性。利用短信和小额现金奖励,我们在赞比亚测试了一种基于同伴的信息宣传活动,以鼓励人们遵守与 COVID-19 相关的健康行为建议。没有一种治疗方法会影响主要研究参与者或其同伴的健康行为。将信息传递给同伴的建议增加了信息的传播,但经济激励并没有产生额外的影响。

Passing the message: Peer outreach about COVID-19 precautions in Zambia

During public health emergencies, spreading accurate information and increasing adherence to recommended behaviors is critical for communal welfare. However, uncertainty, mistrust, and misinformation can slow the adoption of best practices. Preexisting social networks can amplify and endorse information from authorities, and technology makes peer-to-peer messaging scalable and fast. Using text messages and small cash incentives, we test a peer-based information campaign to encourage adherence to recommended COVID-19-related health behaviors in Zambia. None of the treatments affected health behavior among primary study participants or their peers. The suggestion to pass messages to peers increases dissemination, but financial incentives do not have any additional impact.
