What nudges you to take a vaccine? Understanding behavioural drivers of COVID-19 vaccinations using large-scale experiments in the G-7 countries
Our dataset combines observational and experimental data on behavioural health policies, offering numerous insights. First, the dataset's extensive size and geographical diversity enables comparative analysis of public health issues involving social, political, and behavioural factors. Second, the dataset is suited to advanced statistical methods that can explore heterogeneity in the uptake of behavioural health policies, such as vaccine nudges. Third, the timing of the data collection, coinciding with the rise of the Omicron variant, provides valuable insights into why some previously vaccinated individuals might hesitate to receive additional doses, potentially improving our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic and possible responses to pandemics and other public health emergencies in the future.
