Program Development Using Intervention Mapping - PDM1157

Intervention Mapping is a framework to support effective decision-making when planning, implementing and evaluating health promotion programs. It has been successfully used in a wide range of settings, including health care, social care, and education. Intervention Mapping offers a roadmap from problem identification through to problem solving or mitigation, by combining theory, empirical research, and data from the community.

Participants are encouraged to bring a program idea to work on during the course, however, case studies will also be available.
