Understanding intervention effectiveness: analysing potential for change, improving intervention reporting, and using machine-readable decision justifications

This symposium aims to improve intervention development, analysis, and reporting practices, benefiting both practitioners and researchers by presenting five innovative approaches to understanding and communicating intervention effectiveness. These approaches represent tools that can be used in practice but are based on fundamental behavior change research, thereby facilitating knowledge translation in behavior change settings. Developing effective behavior change interventions to enhance health requires close cooperation between practitioners, behavior change professionals, and target population individuals. This close cooperation in turn requires a shared vocabulary, shared means of unequivocally expressing intervention content and development decisions, and tools consistent with insights from behavior change science. This symposium provides those.

本次研讨会旨在提升干预措施的开发、分析和报告实践，通过展示五种创新的方法来理解和传达干预效果，从而既惠及实践者又裨益研究者。这些方法代表了可用于实践的工具，其基础为根本性的行为改变研究，从而促进了在行为改变场景中的知识转化。开发有效的行为改变干预措施以提升健康水平，需要实践者、行为改变专业人士及目标人群个体之间的紧密合作。这种紧密合作反过来又要求共享的术语、明确表达干预内容和开发决策的共同方式，以及与行为改变科学洞见相一致的工具。本次研讨会正是为此提供相关资源。
