Abstract: Effective animal disease reporting is critical for early disease detection and control, but it is often hindered by various human behavioral barriers. This review outlines a comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing these barriers in animal owners and producers. The result is a proposed scoping review protocol to find evidence on human behavioral barriers, enablers, and interventions to animal disease reporting and the use of established behavioral frameworks, including the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), to systematically analyze factors affecting disease reporting behavior. This scoping review protocol introduces a novel perspective on animal disease reporting by delving into the human behavioral aspects. By leveraging established frameworks, we aim to provide systematic insights into the influences on animal disease reporting behavior and propose evidence-based interventions. This research has the potential to significantly contribute to the enhancement of global animal health surveillance systems.
