| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify concepts on health policy utilizing nudge, to mention concrete examples of health policy utilizing nudge practiced in Japan, and to quantify the state and transition of such projects. As a concept of nudge, it was explicated as "to guide people in a direction that makes them healthier, not forcing people, by providing opportunities and creating mechanisms". As a project utilizing nudge in Japan, a health point system is raised. As a result of survey conducted in FY 2016, 41.4% of municipalities nationwide have implemented and remarkably increased from 14.6% as of 2012. Initiatives for improving social environment and measures against health disparities have been improved.
