ATELIER 1: Designing interventions using the Behaviour Change Wheel and COM-B Model<\/h2>\n

Matin\u00e9e (9h00 \u00e0 12h00) <\/strong>– Marta Marques, PhD (Portugal)<\/p>\n

The Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) is a systematic, evidence-based framework for designing behaviour change interventions. At its centre is the integrative COM-B model of human behaivour, which provides a way to systematically identify and categorize barriers and enablers to change. This workshop introduces you to applying the BCW and COM-B model to intervention development, with emphasis on the Behaviour Change Technique Ontology\u2014a comprehensive classifation for standardizing and specifying evidence-based teqhniques.\u00a0 Case examples will illustrate each step, with opportunity to discuss how to apply these on your own.<\/p>\n

Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Explain the Behaviour Change Wheel framework<\/strong>\u00a0and its key components to understand the systematic approach to designing behavior change interventions<\/li>\n
  2. Use the COM-B model<\/strong>\u00a0to diagnose what needs to change\u2014identifying the capabilities, opportunities and motivations that are barriers or enablers to behavior change<\/li>\n
  3. Select and specify evidence-based behaviour change techniques<\/strong>\u00a0using the Behaviour Change Technique Ontology to design targeted, effective interventions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ATELIER 2: Co-creation of behavioural interventions: Methods for integrating stakeholders to optimize implementation<\/h2>\n

    Matin\u00e9e (9h00 \u00e0 12h00) <\/strong>– Molly Byrne, PhD (Irlande)<\/p>\n

    In this workshop, you will learn about approaches to engage key stakeholders in co-designing research to develop, evaluate and implement effective behaviour change interventions. You will apply your learning to your own research area and develop ideas and strategies in discussion with other workshop participants.<\/p>\n

    This workshop will introduce key themes, frameworks and references relevant to stakeholder engagement and coproduction. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to learn about the application of stakeholder engagement across all stages of the research development pipeline: from conceiving the initial research question, through intervention development, to selecting which outcomes matter, and evaluating and implementing interventions in the \u2018real world\u2019. The workshop will provide hands-on experience and guidance in using stakeholder engagement and coproduction in participants\u2019 own research.<\/p>\n

    ATELIER 3: Attacking the roots of mis\/disinformation: How health misinformation spreads and how we can apply lessons from behavioural science to combat it<\/h2>\n

    Matin\u00e9e (9h00 \u00e0 12h00) – <\/strong>Emily Vraga, PhD (\u00c9U)<\/p>\n

    *Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or a tablet to this workshop.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Leading health organizations and government agencies have recognized the threat that mis- and disinformation can create for public health and democratic societies. A number of complementary forces contribute to the spread of misinformation, including how individuals process information, institutional constraints in how information is produced, and the affordances by which individuals encounter diverse information, particularly in digital media environments. With this framework, we turn our attention to identifying the critical intervention points where efforts to disrupt misinformation supply, distribution, uptake, and demand are most likely to be effective (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2025). We\u2019ll consider how inoculation theory may inform intervention efforts and pay special attention to the rewards and risks of attempting to mitigate misinformation in online spaces.<\/p>\n
