During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweden adopted a recommendation-based approach rather than strict lockdowns. This approach relies on public willingness to adhere to guidelines and motivations for prosocial behaviour. This study aimed to explore the motivations behind adherence or non-adherence to COVID-19 recommendations in Sweden. Methods: Semi-structured interviews, purposive sampling.
