Social and Behavioural Science for Emergencies publications

Evidence reviews and reports produced for the Social and Behavioural Science for Emergencies (SBSE) Steering Group.

The ⁠Social and Behavioural Science for Emergencies (SBSE) Steering Group provides strategic coordination of social and behavioural science inputs into cross-government emergency preparedness and response. These evidence reviews and reports cover a range of social and behavioural science topics. They seek to provide accessible science advice for government resilience teams and policy makers. The outputs are reviewed by a combination of working-level HMG social science leads, academics and Chief Scientific Advisers. They are not statements of government policy.
