Summary:

"This book provides a stepwise process for designing multilevel behavior change interventions to promote community health. The use of the word "design" encompasses a consideration of all of the phases of developing a behavior change intervention, including how a team plans, creates, implements, and evaluates the intervention. The book focuses on designing new multilevel interventions (MLIs), but the process suggested may be helpful to those adapting existing evidence-based intervention (EBIs) by providing a systematic approach for making decisions about what adaptations are required to meet the needs of a community. The book begins with a discussion of MLIs, including what they are, why they are useful, and the utility and limitations of ecological models in developing multilevel interventions. It reviews theories of behavior change and includes theories addressing change at the individual level and theories addressing system-level or organizational change. The book describes how to implement the four phases and corresponding steps of the multilevel design process, with each chapter representing one phase such as: Plan Phase, Create Phase, Implement Phase, and Evaluate Phase. To illustrate the steps in each phase, it develops a hypothetical intervention with the goal of reducing middle-school students' consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Finally, the book provides guidelines for adapting existing interventions to different communities by using a modified version of the four-phase multilevel design framework. The audience includes both researchers and practitioners who are designing or adapting behavior change programs to improve population health."--Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
