Newest firstHealth insurance coverage remains critically low in developing economies, with Nigerias National Health Insurance Scheme covering only 5% of the population. Understanding consumer demand patterns is essential for designing effective insurance policies, yet limited research has applied behavioral economic frameworks to health insurance decision-making in developing contexts. This mixed-methods study investigated fa…
Open article record in new tab ↗Co-use of alcohol and cannabis is common among young adults in the United States. A behavioral economics framework indicates that greater engagement in substance-free sources of reinforcement may be protective against co-use frequency. The current study tested the association between proportionate alcohol-free reinforcement and the frequency of co-use among college freshmen. Participants (N = 86) were freshmen who…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundClinic non-attendance rates are high across the African continent. Emerging evidence suggests that phone-based reminder messages could make a small but important contributing to reducing non-attendance. We used behavioral economics principles to develop an SMS and voice reminder message to improve attendance rates in a school-based eye screening programme in Botswana. MethodsWe will test a new theory-inf…
The decoy effect arises when the ratio of choosing B from A and B options is lower than the ratio of choosing B from A, B, and D options, wherein D is dominated by B. This decision pattern is obviously unreasonable but quite common. Previous research suggested that impulsive people have stronger decoy effect. Rs806379, as a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus of cannabis receptor 1 gene (CNR1), has signific…
Open article record in new tab ↗Are we placing a bet by ourselves or has our DNA already made the decision for us? Previous research has suggested that some genes related to dopamine or serotonin can influence our non-bet-placing decision-making, but little is known about whether cannabinoid-related genes can impact how much people bet. To investigate this issue, we focused on rs1049353, a single-nucleotide polymorphism of the cannabinoid recept…
