Some recent papers on covid behaviour and response

Below in response to a promise to some readers that I would send a set of recent interesting papers on behavioural and social responses to covid.

This is a useful review by Drury and colleagues on Facilitating collective resilience in the public in emergencies: Twelve recommendations based on the social identity approach. John Drury has published a lot on social identity in emergencies.

This is a good overview from Michie and colleagues describing (very clear and simply) the importance of collective messaging/ social norms and avoidance of authoritarian or fear based messages.
