New set of case studies and resources from BIT!
From BIT:
- Boosting vaccine uptake with behavioural science and social media: Our new report brings together evidence from 100+ studies and insights from more than 30 vaccination projects across a dozen countries, including work with UNICEF, WHO, Gavi, and national health authorities.
- How social media shapes young European’s world views: BIT was commissioned by the Finnish innovation fund Sitra to study young people’s experiences on social media, particularly the political content they encounter. We analysed over 1,700 recommended political posts.
- What shapes financial decisions: more information, or how it’s presented? To support the Bank of Thailand’s Responsible Lending regulation, BIT tested whether redesigning a loan product sheet could improve consumer understanding and decision-making.
- Can boxing reduce youth violence? BIT’s Ending Youth Violence Lab has launched a 6-month trial to test the impact of boxing on youth crime prevention in the UK.
- Building healthier cities: We’re proud to lead the global evaluation for the Cities for Better Health initiative, tackling childhood obesity in urban communities. See how our consortium is co-creating sustainable health solutions in Mississauga, Canada. Watch the film.
- Local media in a crisis: Following the 2024 UK riots, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport commissioned BIT to explore how communities consumed local news. Our research—now featured in the Government’s Local Media Plan—highlights how local reporting uniquely reassures the public and helps de-escalate tensions. Explore the findings.
- Tackling online harms in Singapore: BIT’s Serene Koh teamed up with SG Her Empowerment to apply the EAST framework to the behavioural barriers of reporting online abuse. Read the article.
