Poster – Social Distancing at Grocery Stores
/in SBC Materials City of Portland United States English Prevention, Social/Physical Distancing Communities, General Public/by wpengineIn April 2020, the City of Portland (Oregon, USA) partnered with the Behavioral Insights Team to create a poster for grocery stores aimed at encouraging customers to keep a 6-feet distance from staff and each other.
The goal was to protect staff’s health and reduce stress by encouraging customers to keep the recommended safe distance to reduce spread of COVID-19.
We designed multiple variations of the poster and used rapid online testing to assess which text and visuals were most memorable and convincing.
The final poster – which used clear visuals of staff and customers staying 6-feet apart and simple text emphasizing customers’ duty to protect staff and one another – was left unbranded and made available for download for anyone to use (You can also edit the PDF file to change text or change “6 feet” to meters, etc.).

Deciding to Go Out
/in Clinical/Technical Guidance, Web Resources US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Global English Return to Work/School Communities, General Public/by Shane HarperThis guidance tool, useful for both SBC professionals and the public, reviews important information one should consider before deciding to resume all, or some, of normal activities.
As communities and businesses are opening, people may be looking for ways to resume some daily activities as safely as possible. While there is no way to ensure zero risk of infection, it is important to understand potential risks and how to adopt different types of prevention measures to protect yourself and to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Of course, if one has COVID-19, has symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or has been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, it is important to stay home and away from other people. When one leaves home and begins to be around others depends on different factors for different situations.
In general, the more closely you interact with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.

3-D Simulation about Social Distancing
/in News and Updates, Training/Education Kyoto Institute of Technology, The New York Times Global English Masks, Social/Physical Distancing Communities, General Public/by Shane HarperScientists who study the transmission of respiratory illnesses like influenza say that infections typically happen when a healthy person comes into contact with respiratory droplets from an infected person’s cough, sneeze or breath.
This simulation, created using research data from the Kyoto Institute of Technology, offers one view of what can happen when someone coughs indoors. A cough produces respiratory droplets of varying sizes. Larger droplets fall to the floor, or break up into smaller droplets.
