Using behaviour change models Elliott Flowers eflowe@essex.ac.uk

Understanding behaviour Behaviour is what we wish to change It is dynamic and shaped by contextual factors Understanding behaviour is vital if we wish to change it

Define problem in behavioural terms Specify target behaviour Identify what needs to change to achieve target behaviour

What conditions need to be present for physical activity behaviour to occur? Barriers – why lady on the couch- quick fire answers for this What could you do to facilitate the change to get her to 5K?

Transtheoretical model Expand on this a little? Typical one from Sport England and use examples as much as possible- don’t worry too much about the actual names of stages- so left hand side no middle. This is how you might do your delivery with an individual person. Taken from Sport England’s Tackling Inactivity: The Design Principles

COM-B More context to this- looking at this as part of the Essex Strategy. Explain a bit more about wha this this means in real life context.

Both theories are included in the new strategy

Task: how did you become active? How did you improve your own capability to be physically active? (physically, psychological) How did you motivate yourself to be physically active? What opportunities did you grasp to be physically active? And what were the barriers?

How can we change COMs of others? Using reflection on your own experiences to give their own examples of how you could change the COMs of others?

Thank you Any questions???
