Summary

Nudge is a set of methods aimed at helping people adopt a behavior by a gentle prompt, conscious or not. Classically, Nudges rely on heuristics and cognitive biases. These methods have been studied for years in social psychology and are receiving renewed attention since the awarding of the Nobel Prize in economics to Richard Thaler for his work on the application of Nudge to the economy.

Health professionals are very inadequately vaccinated (25 to 45% of the population). Some studies have shown that a Nudge based on intent implementation can significantly increase vaccination coverage. However, few studies evaluate the acceptability of Nudge or its application to health professionals.

The investigators sought to apply a Nudge based on availability heuristics to health professionals, in order to evaluate its effectiveness and terms of behavior adoption (influenza vaccination) and its acceptability.

The investigator's hypothesis is that Nudging is both effective and acceptable and that people found nudging more acceptable if they have been exposed to a nudge.
