How does digital government influence public policy compliance in public health emergencies? -A study based on mixed method.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The evolution of digital government is reshaping the dynamics of government-citizen interactions, fostering new modes of engagement, co-creation, and participatory governance. This study explores the impact of digital government, administrative burdens, and violation costs on public policy compliance, with a focus on public health emergencies. In Study 1, a survey of 697 participants from regions with different levels of digital government (high, medium, and low) was conducted. The findings indicate that perceptions of the usefulness, ease of use, and transparency of digital government systems are significant predictors of policy compliance, mediated by the administrative burden experienced by citizens. Additionally, digital literacy was found to moderate the relationship between administrative burden and compliance, highlighting the role of digital skills in public policy compliance. In Study 2, an experimental survey with 312 participants examined how violation costs influence the impact of digital government on policy compliance. Results show that violation costs significantly moderate this relationship, aligning with the theoretical framework of loss aversion. The findings offer insights into the boundary conditions under which digital government initiatives can effectively enhance policy compliance in the context of public health emergency, contributing to the broader discourse on governance and public policy implementation in digital contexts.
