To foster a critical appreciation of the complex systems in which interventions may be implemented
To enable students to manage environments and personnel to increase intervention success.To foster a critical appreciation of the complex systems in which interventions may be implemented
Content Summary
This module will equip students to understand the complex systems in which behavioural interventions might be implemented, as well as how to manage environments and personnel to increase the likelihood of intervention success.
Students will learn how behavioural interventions can be combined within more complex system-wide behaviour change strategies. They also will learn about how to effectively supervise the behaviour change process through collaborating with other professionals, functionally assessing implementation barriers, and supporting personnel as effective and ethical behaviour change agents.
