First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study from the University of Pennsylvania looks at whether simply asking people about their intentions to do a health behavior—like getting a flu shot—makes them more likely to actually do it. Researchers are tracking 350 participants to see if measuring intention changes behavior. The goal is to understand how to better encourage healthy actions.
