HEI-Lab Researcher Developed an Important Framework on Behavioral Sciences in Health

Rui Gaspar, a researcher at HEI-Lab, is participating in a study by the Ministry fo Health and the Direção Geral de Saúde (DGS) for the creation of a framework on Behavioral Sciences in Health.
The framework that has been developed provides a brief introduction to the key principles of behavioral sciences and a step-by-step process for developing behavior change interventions using its recomended principles.
The framework doesn't aim to be a substitute for in-depth knowledge of a specific topic, but rather a reference to leverage that knowledge and optimize interventions in order to achieve the intended outcomes more consistently.
The goal is for this guide to be updated as needed, in light of user experiences and advances in behavioral sciences.
