A Guide to Designing Interventions
Susan Michie, Lou Atkins & Robert West
A practical guide to designing and evaluating behaviour change interventions and policies. It is based on the Behaviour Change Wheel, a synthesis of 19 behaviour change frameworks that draw on a wide range of disciplines and approaches.
Written for policy makers, practitioners, intervention designers and researchers, the guide introduces a systematic, theory-based method, key concepts and practical tasks.
It puts “flesh on the bones” of good practice guidelines, such as the UK Medical Research Council’s guidance on developing and evaluating complex interventions, with a step-by-step method illustrated by examples from a wide range of domains and disciplines.
What people are saying
The Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) was developed from 19 frameworks of behaviour change identified in a systematic literature review. It provides a systematic way of identifying relevant intervention functions and policy categories based on what is understood about the target behaviour.
Explore the wheel
See the definition of each source of behaviour, intervention function and policy category, with an example. The book shows how they link together and how to use them to design an intervention.
Buy the bookIntervention functions can then be translated into specific techniques for changing behaviour, using the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy (v1), which is included in the book.
