Follow-up Clinic: Designing Effective Interventions for Health Behaviour Change

Primarily designed for participants who have previously attended training in health behaviour change, the follow-up clinic will provide mentoring and support to researchers (including PhD students), practitioners and policy makers currently engaged in the development and evaluation of behaviour change interventions. Potential participants are asked to submit a short 200 word overview of a behaviour change intervention they are currently working on, and any particular barriers or challenges faced. These challenges and potential solutions will be discussed during the clinic. The number of participants will be limited to ten, to facilitate individual guidance from expert clinic facilitators.
