Citizen Responses to the COVID-19 Lockdown
2020-10-01 14:54:23 UTC
WRAP's report on UK citizens' behavior changes around food during COVID has some interesting data on the impact of the lockdown on planning, purchase, storage and consumption behaviours; and explore implications for changes in levels of food waste.

Behavioral Research on COVID
2020-09-15 14:09:28 UTC
Hello! Anyone out there doing behavioral science survey research during COVID? I have been hearing from the field, and seeing in my own experience, a variety of effects, from increased response rate to increased comfort with digital platforms, and am interested in collecting more first-hand experiences to see if people are seeing the same or different patterns.

Follow up: Food Waste During COVID
2020-09-01 14:30:39 UTC
Hello all! I wanted to follow up on my food waste post with an article about changes being observed during COVID, below, and see if anyone is working on either research to better understand these changes or programs to help keep them in place.

Microplastic Reduction
2020-07-27 19:17:50 UTC
Hello! I am looking for any behavioral resources, research, or existing programs on microplastics, specifically looking to reduce fibers through either modifications to washing machines, use of fiber catching devices, or modifying one's purchasing habits. For example - comparision of the relative impact, penetration, probability, and applicability of each, barrier and benefit research, or even implemented and evaluated strategies/programs.
Thanks!

Food Waste during COVID
2020-07-09 17:28:58 UTC
Hello! I am looking for anyone interested in, or ideally, currently working on, food waste during the pandemic. How has your messaging shifted (if at all), what has the response been, how are you evaluating your programs, etc. If anyone is able to provide any insight into these topics, please comment or reach out to phelps@actionresearch-inc.com

Summer Water Conservation Program
2020-06-03 15:38:30 UTC
For those concerned about residential summer water usage, I wanted to share research and program resources we have conducted and developed over the last 4 years. This includes foundational research starting with selecting behaviors, conducting barrier and benefit research on the top behaviors (reducing lawn watering, fixing irrigation leaks, installing weather-based automatic irrigation, and fixing pool leaks), designing a strategy to address the barriers and benefits to reducing lawn watering, pilot testing, and now we are in broad-scale implementation. The "Additional Resources" section in the link go through reports on each step. If you're interested in more information about this work, feel free to reach out to Kaitlin Phelps, phelps@actionresearch-inc.com
