Full day workshop for anyone involved in the design, implementation and evaluation of behavior change interventions (BCIs)

 

In response to the MRC's calls for improved methods of specifying and reporting intervention content Taxonomies of Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) are being developed to improve the characterisation of behaviour change interventions in terms of their active ingredients (i.e. the techniques that lead to behaviour change).

Run by three members of the BCT Taxonomy team, Profs Susan Michie, Marie Johnston and Charles Abraham, the workshop will train participants to use the most recently developed, comprehensive, consensus-based, cross-domain taxonomy of BCTs.  The BCTs cover health domains of illness management, illness prevention and health professional behaviours.

Through a series of individual and interactive learning exercises, participants will be trained to identify at least 20 BCTs and reliably code excerpts and descriptions of behavioural change interventions, and will be introduced to the full taxonomy of 87 BCTs.  The aim will be to increase the competence and confidence of participants in using the taxonomy and applying it to their work.

 

 

Places are limited and expected to fill up quickly.
