This document aims to guide you through the process of developing a behaviour change intervention. If we want people to achieve behaviour change, we encourage them to follow five stages:
Behaviour change can be tackled at any of the five levels of the socio-ecological model (SEM). See the diagram. In this guide, we will focus mostly on determinants at the first three levels:
individual, interpersonal and community levels.
Assessment is made through the various eCBHFA tools (such as observation, community mapping, seasonal calendar, individual or group interviews) in order to understand what the priorities are for the community, and which behaviour is practised or not.
Following community assessments, volunteer groups select specific behaviours and can do a barrier analysis to find out what prevents or motivates the behaviour. The doer/non-doer tool
included in the CBHFA assessment package can be used for this. The determinants of behaviour can be classified in three categories: psychological, sociological and environmental.
