During the past decade (2006 – 2016) many nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff have been trained to use the Designing for Behavior Change (DBC) framework to design determinant-based behavior change strategies. Review of completed DBC frameworks and discussions with practitioners indicated a desire and an opportunity for more in-depth discussion and practice in linking the results from their Barrier Analysis studies to effective activities.
In order to give appropriate emphasis and attention to the important step of designing activities that directly link to the results of formative research, The TOPS Program developed this three-day, additional curriculum for experienced DBC practitioners.
