Alison Buttenheim, Harsha Thirumurthy, and two colleagues from Wits University in South Africa published a commentary in The Lancet Global Health - Maximising the value of nudge units for global health. The commentary reflects on the work of the Indlela nudge unit in South Africa over the past three years.
