BSU interactive tool: Selecting implementation types
You may be picking up this guide after having read or used tools 1 and/or 2, if so, you should have (a) a clearly defined target behaviour and population, and (b) insights relating to insights relating to the barriers and facilitators to the desired behaviour.
If you haven’t read or used tools 1 and 2 but have some behavioural insights that you’d like to use, this tool will work for you too, but we suggest reading tool 3 first. By the time you’ve completed this tool, you’ll have identified an appropriate implementation type(s) for your intervention.
In tool 5, we explore how to build, develop or adapt interventions using behaviour change techniques. Behaviour change techniques are the theory and evidence-based ‘active ingredients’ of an intervention. If you’ve completed tools 3, 4 and 5 you’ll have either a new, or revised intervention(s), that has been developed using behavioural science and that is likely to be more effective at eliciting the desired behaviour/change. The final tool, tool 6, will cover how to implement, disseminate and evaluate your intervention.
