“…Psycho-social indicator factors such as moral and social norms, religious and political ideology or social identity (Sunstein, 1996) determine policy directions for suicide and euthanasia. Proulx and Savage (2020) assume that the reflection of religious and cultural attitudes and beliefs of society determines and will determine policy directions for (assisted) suicide and euthanasia.…”

The aim of this paper is to present a discourse of behavioural economics with its nudge theory in public health policy. Considering the great number of papers dealing with this phenomenon in the past few years, the study identifies various focus areas and suggests areas for future research using peer-reviewed journal articles. They have been properly selected from the Web of Science and Scopus databases in the three-year period of 2018 to 2020 based on the approach of Hohenstein et al. (2014). The overall effectiveness of the reviewed nudging strategies was over 80%. A range of explored areas such as obesity or addictions is associated with high costs for the health care and social systems and with lowered quality of life. Therefore, this review suggests a movement towards more research and publications in all the focus areas and collecting more data of nudges so that health policymakers and other stakeholders may use their indisputable potential.

Background Suicide is a significant cause of death worldwide. Various purposes can explain why people choose to attempt or commit suicide such as mental-health disorders, income-related-factors, quality of life or issues related to social context. This study aims to identify an updated association between ‘isolation’ and suicides. Methods In this regard, we had made a systematic review of the most recent papers, published from January 2016 to March 2022, thought the most acknowledged databases. This review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for systematic reviews. To the best of our knowledge, this issue is very important due to the indirect relationship between COVID-19 and suicides. Results Our analysis demonstrates that suicide and -social isolation and loneliness- have a positive and direct relationship although these findings varied slightly by areas. Moreover, most of the attention is focused on the youth during the most recent period and this is a real problem because economies cannot afford losing (young) population. Conclusions In order to prevent suicides, public policies should prevent suicidal thoughts that it could induce to terminate the lives of individuals in their most productive years and harmful outcomes to their families and friends.
