Background: Labour epidural analgesia reportedly fails in up to 10 to 25% of cases. A joint taskforce of European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) experts was created to develop this focused guideline on the management of failing epidural analgesia in a previously well functioning epidural catheter.
Design: Six clinical questions were defined using a PICO (Population/Intervention/Comparison/Outcome) strategy to conduct a systematic literature search.
Article Synopsis
- The ENCHANT project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various behavioral interventions aimed at reducing electricity consumption in households across six European countries.
- The study will involve around 1,500 households per country, assessing six different interventions and measuring outcomes like weekly electricity use and self-reported energy-saving behaviors through an online platform.
- Psychological factors such as intentions to save energy, perceived difficulty, and social norms will be analyzed to understand how they influence the success of these interventions.
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of field experiments utilizing social norms, commitment and price-based interventions to promote energy conservation, load shifting, and energy efficiency behaviors. Treatment effects reported in the extant literature, as well as the factors that may strengthen or dampen these effects are reviewed. We find that social norm and incentive-based interventions mostly achieve small reductions in energy consumption, and that the effects of commitment-based interventions are essentially zero for the most part.
