The Theory and Techniques Tool. An online resource linking between behaviour change techniques and their mechanisms of action can be used for developing theory-based interventions or understanding interventions theoretically. This will be introduced by Professor Susan Michie and Professor Marie Johnston. We will ensure plenty of interaction both in the session and on a discussion board – we hope you can join us.
