Then @cortneyprice.bsky.social highlighted a potential paradox. In #behavioralScience, we know awareness is insufficient; people are often cognitive misers. ...and yet we use walls of words and piles of plots to persuade people to fund, publish, and implement our #research. Is there a better way?
Do as I say, not as I do: Cognitive dissonance in behavioural science advocacy for AMR

Cortney Price, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Behavioural scientists argue that simply knowing something (awareness) doesn’t always change behaviour, as human decision making often relies on heuristics and biases. Paradoxically, to get support for their work (like tackling antimicrobial resistance [AMR]), behavioural scientists often try to persuade leaders by presenting evidence—essentially, by raising awareness of successful trials and attempting to leverage the knowledge-deficit model. This talk explores this contradiction: why does this cognitive dissonance persists, and what can be done about it? What other ways should behavioural scientists explore to better convince decision-makers to back behavioural science for AMR? Experiential and emotional strategies for decision/policy influence will be discussed.Advocacy tropes:

1. Numbers

Lancet: "In 2014, the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) projected that 10 million deaths caused by AMR could occur by 2050. This estimate, while the subject of scientific criticism, helped position AMR as one of the most pressing threats to health of the 21st century." (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(24)01867-1)
