The National Institute of Public Health has been conducting the SI-PANDA– Behavioural Insights and Health survey since 2024. This research examines people's behaviour in relation to their health and their preparedness for new possible disease outbreaks and potential crisis situations in the future.
The research SI-PANDA – Behavioural Insights and Health is prepared in collaboration with the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).
This survey addresses people’s physical and mental health, adherence to healthy habits, lifestyle, behaviour when feeling unwell or sick, physical contact with people, preparedness in the event of a new pandemic or crisis in the future, etc. The survey is conducted every 6 months, among members of a Slovenian online panel, with approximately 1,500 adults aged 18 to 74 participating in each survey. The survey is conducted by a panel provider on behalf of the National Institute for Public Health. The data is analyzed at the NIJZ and RIVM.
The study provides valuable insights into people’s health-related behavioural patterns and habits, which will be useful in designing strategies to improve public health and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, as well as responding to crises.
