Description

This module teaches students the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop and evaluate behaviour change interventions using evidence-based methods. Specifically, students will learn how to apply four behavioural science tools and understand how they interlink and can be applied as a system in order to select target behaviours, conduct a behavioural diagnosis and develop and evaluate intervention strategies and policies to change behaviour. The four tools are the Capability Opportunity Motivation 鈥� Behaviour (COM-B) model, the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) and the Behaviour Change Techniques Taxonomy (BCTTv1). Students will be supported through interactive workshops, collaborative group work and formative feedback to apply these tools to a range of practical problems spanning different topic areas.
