Approaches to specifying a target behaviour
How do you specify a target behaviour. Here are two models, the behaviour wheel and AACTT
The authors of the Behaviour Change Wheel process recommend that a target behaviour is specified in terms of:
- Who needs to perform the behaviour?
- What does the person need to do differently to achieve the desired change?
- When will they do it?
- Where will they do it?
- How often will they do it?
- With whom will they do it?
Other approaches can also be used to do this, such as the Action, Actor, Context, Target, Time (AACTT): a framework for specifying behaviour. The AACTT framework can be useful when exploring complex behavioural problems that involve sequences of behaviours performed by different people.
