Kopsavilkums:
This project addresses a critical gap in (inter)national scholarship by offering an empirically grounded, theory-driven analysis of youth compliance with substance policies through combining the Slippery Slope Framework (SSF) and Behavioral and Cultural Insight (BCI). While behavioral insights have increasingly informed public health and substance use interventions, existing applications of WHO’s Behavioural and Cultural Insights (BCI) framework primarily focus on individual behavioral change and communication strategies, often overlooking broader socio-political dynamics such as trust in institutions and perceptions of policy legitimacy. Combining SSF and BCI provides a novel lens to tackle the gap between decision-makers and youth subcultures. It will allow to examine how young people interpret the rationale behind policy and enforcement, and how the constructed meanings around substance policies influence their compliance or resistance. In other words, by combining SSF with BCI, the study will capture not only whether youth comply with substance policies, but also why, revealing the cultural logics and behavioral mechanisms behind compliance or resistance.
