REASON4HEALTH project
Irrational mindset as a conceptual bridge from psychological dispositions to questionable health practices
The Reason4Health project is funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia within the funding scheme IDEAS.
The local and international scientific community will benefit from the REASON4HEALTH research project, as all research protocols, instruments, and databases will be open and can be used and analyzed further by other research teams. Outside of the academic community, the results of the project will benefit those that would like to understand psychological factors that influence health behaviors and to implement the results of the project to achieve better health outcomes for individuals and the society, either individually or through institutions or organizations. These are stakeholders that are responsible for public health – healthcare policymakers and institutions (the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Health and the Institute of Public Health), health workers and their professional organizations, the World Health Organization, and other international health organizations, and patient organizations. The end-users of the project results are all citizens of the Republic of Serbia. The results will be presented directly to the public via media, social media, workshops, and lectures, participating at the Festival of Science and other activities, to raise awareness and initiate discussions about making health decisions.
