Insights from behavioral sciences are constantly gaining importance in policy-making. Within the EU and beyond, a growing number of countries apply behavioral insights to an ever-expanding set of policy domains. In this workshop, we will discuss the latest developments in the Health field with the Director, Health and Tax, of the UK’s Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), one of the front-runners in behavioral policy-design and evaluation.

Michael Hallsworth (BIT): The Behavioural Policies of Health
Insights from behavioral sciences are constantly gaining importance in policy-making. Within the EU and beyond, a growing number of countries
apply behavioral insights to an ever-expanding set of policy domains. In this workshop, we will discuss the latest developments in the Health
field with the Director, Health and Tax, of the UK’s Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), one of the front-runners in behavioral policy-design and
evaluation.
Objectives
✓ To ensure that participants understand the theory of behavioural insights and why it matters for health
o Why do ‘automatic’ and habitual drivers of behaviours matter for health?
o How is a behavioural insights approach different from traditional health policies?
o How widely are these approaches used and by whom?
✓ To explore various examples of how BIT has applied these theories in practice
o Reducing missed hospital appointments
o Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescribing
o Reducing hospital waiting times for patients
o Increasing cancer screening rates
o Preventing medical error
o Fixing problems with calorie intake statistics
✓ To apply methods for developing and testing behavioural insights interventions
o Interactive sessions using BIT’s EAST framework to develop new solutions to problems
o Using BIT’s TEST approach to find low-cost ways of measuring the impact of these solutions
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to apply simple, robust behavioural science frameworks to come up with new solutions to the
problems they face – whether these are practical and applied ones, or more wide-ranging policy ones.
