Include articles that endogenously model behavioura | Exclude articles concerned with exogenous behaviour change (e.g., an intervention) unless the behaviour is mediated by other factors that change/respond within the model (e.g., age, risk preferences, etc.) |
Include articles that incorporate individual level behavioural elements (e.g., decision making) | Exclude ‘population models’ in which behaviour is universal (i.e., determined by a specific exogenous parameter) within a given group. |
Include articles employing a mathematical transmission model or modelling component to represent behaviour change | Exclude articles using only statistical/econometric models (e.g., regression analyses, and related approaches) |
Include articles that are published in peer reviewed academic journals | Exclude conference proceedings, posters, grey literature. |
