The Personal-Policy Collision: Messaging, Trust, and Behavioral Response in a Global Health Crisis
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic brought to light the complex interplay between individual behavior and institutional policy. During the global health crisis, it highlighted how public health messaging, levels of trust in authorities, and personal values shape behavioral responses. Here we review elements of the effectiveness and pitfalls of health communication strategies, the role of trust in government and healthcare systems, and how these factors influence individual compliance or resistance to public policy. By drawing on qualitative and quantitative insights from the literature, lessons are learned for more effective, culturally sensitive public health messaging and communication styles, and showcased for future public health emergencies.
