Great to see healthcare nudges in the media! Seen this? Meta analysis of how nudges are being used in health. Majority focused on prescription (30%), most using online method of delivery for the intervention (66%), most successful use social comparison https://journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa/article/view/71 …
Nudges more likely to work in hospitals (74%) than other health settings, but less so for night shift, as there's less visibility/ people work more individually. Similarly, practitioners in rural settings less responsive to nudges, likely because they work more autonomously.
