Abstract

The study assesses the impact of communicating exponential growth on adopting non-pharmaceuticals interventions (NPI). We asked people (N=300) to partake in an estimation task followed by a set of questions on NPI. Our result showed that people are more likely to follow NPI's when they understand the exponential growth better.
