目的描述并讨论在减少SARS-CoV-2传播的背景下对英国政府政策问题做出非常快速反应（3天）的系统方法。方法一组为英国政府提供COVID-19建议的行为和社会科学家通过政府科学办公室对建议的分析和撰写做出了贡献。问题如下：有哪些选择可以增加对社交距离的坚持（除了必要的旅行和工作外，留在家里）和保护弱势群体（让他们呆在家里远离他人）？这是在实施社会距离立法之前。前两个作者制作了一份草案，根据分析目前的政府指导和应用的行为改变轮（BCW）框架，以确定和评估的选项。结果为促进社会距离，10个选项被确定为提高依从性。这些措施包括改进实现《生物武器公约》干预措施的方式，即教育、说服、激励和胁迫。为了促进对弱势群体的保护，确定了四种方案，涵盖了BCW干预类型的激励、强制和授权。结论通过使用一个框架来构建多学科学者和政策制定者的思维和报告，可以促进在COVID-19大流行期间非常迅速地响应政策制定者。
Purpose To describe and discuss a systematic method for producing a very rapid response (3 days) to a UK government policy question in the context of reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission.Methods A group of behavioural and social scientists advising the UK government on COVID-19 contributed to the analysis and writing of advice through the Government Office for Science. The question was as follows: What are the options for increasing adherence to social distancing (staying at home except for essential journeys and work) and shielding vulnerable people (keeping them at home and away from others)? This was prior to social distancing legislation being implemented. The first two authors produced a draft, based on analysis of the current government guidance and the application of the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) framework to identify and evaluate the options.Results For promoting social distancing, 10 options were identified for improving adherence. They covered improvements in ways of achieving the BCW intervention types of education, persuasion, incentivization, and coercion. For promoting shielding of vulnerable people, four options were identified covering the BCW intervention types of incentivization, coercion, and enablement.Conclusions Responding to policymakers very rapidly as has been necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic can be facilitated by using a framework to structure the thinking and reporting of multidisciplinary academics and policymakers.
