BECCCS – Interventionsstudie für die verbesserte Umsetzung der Coronavirus-Präventionsmassnahmen

Behavior Change in Context to Contain the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 (BECCCS)

Aims

Project BECCCS aims to develop, optimize, and test a behavior change intervention to promote infection prevention behavior in the short and long term. The optimal behavior change intervention will be determined using the MOST (multiphase optimization strategy). Multiple intervention components based on habit theory and the results of formative research will be developed (preparation), tested in a randomized parallel design (optimization), and then tested against a control group (evaluation) to reveal the most effective behavior change intervention to promote infection prevention behaviors. In collaboration with computer science, the intervention will be delivered through a smartphone application, which will allow high reach of the general population.
