Behavioural factors influencing antiviral stockpile management and distribution

This rapid scoping review will examine how behavioural factors (barriers and facilitators) influence antiviral stockpile management and distribution. Although many countries stockpile antivirals used to treat influenza, the factors influencing their management and distribution remain uncertain. Behavioural barriers and facilitators affecting the stockpile management and antiviral distribution may lead to underuse, delayed use, or inequitable access. This review will synthesise evidence on barriers and facilitators shaping stockpile management and distribution. Findings will support the Innovative Supply Solutions for Pandemic Readiness (InSSPR) initiative and inform the Therapeutics Technical Subcomponent of the Canada Pandemic Preparedness Plan.
