The CBC has worked with policy makers to provide resources on behaviour change, to help them in a range of policy areas that influence health and wellbeing.
Achieving Behaviour Change (ABC) Guides
Aims of the guides
Based on the Behaviour Change Wheel framework, these user-friendly guides can help to:
- develop behaviour change interventions from scratch
- build on or modify existing interventions
- choose from existing or planned interventions
These guides provide a framework for understanding behaviour in its context and developing interventions and policies to change behaviour.
Who are the guides for
The first guide is specifically for national government. The second is for local government and partners. Partners includes all organisations wishing to enable behaviour change within or outside their organisations to support people to have healthier behaviours, such as the NHS, emergency services and third sector.
The guides were commissioned by Public Health England’s Behavioural Insights team.
A webinar was held when the guides were launched, which you can watch on YouTube.
Research engagement with policy makers: A practical guide to writing policy briefs
This guide has been developed to support researchers to write effective policy briefs to inform the development or implementation of policy. Whilst the guide has been written primarily for a UK audience, it is hoped that it will be useful to researchers in other countries.
This guide was produced as part of the NIHR Policy Research Unit (PRU) in Behavioural and Social Sciences.
