CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2021-12-23

Digital contact tracing smartphone applications (apps) can mitigate the spread of COVID-19 through exposure notification.- However, their success requires widespread use. We examined the effectiveness of low-cost behavioral interventions (ie, nudges) in increasing downloads of Pennsylvania’s COVID Alert PA app. Specifically, we explored the effectiveness of 2 nudges, on 39,937 individuals, one nudge displaying a descriptive social norm (vs not) and another framing the benefit of downloading for others (vs self).
