Step 2: Narrow your focus from a high-level goal to a specific behaviour that you want to change

​

Before using the tool you need to establish a specific behaviour you want to change.

​

We’ve outlined an example below of how to move from a high-level goal to a specific behaviour. Read the example and then fill in the boxes below.

​

You may have multiple behaviours that you want to change to achieve your goal. Start by focusing on one specific behaviour. This tool will help you to select behavioural principles that can be applied to one specific behaviour. 

​

At the end, you will receive a summary report that outlines the principles you’ve identified. You can then use this tool again and repeat this activity to identify more principles for additional behaviours you want to change.

​

Example

​

What is the problem you want to solve? Resistance to antibiotics is increasing due to high levels of prescribing from GPs.

​

What is your high-level goal? To reduce antimicrobial resistance.

​

What is the specific behaviour you want to change? GP’s do not prescribe an antibiotic unnecessarily.
