Details

Based on the Behaviour Change Wheel framework, these guides can be used to help:

• develop behaviour change interventions from scratch
• build on or modify existing interventions
• choose from existing or planned interventions

These guides provide a framework for understanding behaviour in its context and developing interventions and policies to change behaviour.

They can be used flexibly according to need and circumstance, rather than necessarily following a fixed sequence of steps. They introduce tools and provide case examples for each of these processes which can be used all together or as required during the development process.
