The “non-pharmaceutical” label implies a misconception (2nd or inferior status to pharmaceutical interventions). By contrast, “public health & social measures” communicates interventions aimed at protecting public health and that they often involve collective action and changes in behaviour
It’s time to move away from talking about “non-pharmaceutical interventions”.
Medical journals should use the term “public health and social measures” instead, write @azeem-majeed.bsky.social and @kamranabbasi.bsky.social
