Know thy foe: Information provision and air pollution in Tbilisi 1: The World Bank, United States of America; 2: National University of Singapore Middle-income countries host the majority of the world’s population exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution, and the majority of this population lives in urban environments. We investigate the impact of information provision on household behavior in connection with indoor and outdoor air pollution in a middle-income country’s urban center—Tbilisi, Georgia. We implement an RCT to assess whether providing households with different levels of pollution information changes their knowledge of air pollution and avoidance behavior and improves their health outcomes. We find daily text messages significantly enhanced knowledge about pollution, led to increased avoidance behaviors, and improved health outcomes. | |
