Papers were included if they presented a review of theoretical models as applied to understanding preventative health behaviours in the context of emergency preparedness and response, and/or infectious disease outbreaks. Although this is based on key outcomes/ conclusions and not an exhaustive list of all successful theories reported within/ across reviews, the commonly applied behaviour change theories do seem to be identified as relevant for understanding and explaining human behaviour within an infectious disease and emergency response context. Based on these identified theories and our synthesis of review outcomes, and in conjunction with a recent review by Weston and colleagues [26] , we make recommendations to assist researchers, intervention designers, and mathematical modellers to incorporate psychological behaviour change theories within infectious disease and emergency response contexts. ./cache/cord-290421-9v841ose.txt ./txt/cord-290421-9v841ose.txt
