Facilitating sustainable behaviour change (160kb)

This guidebook suggests issues to consider when designing programs to facilitate behaviour change. It is written to help people who want to understand the HIV epidemic, consider how it relates to their own lives, and work out effective responses in their own settings.

Behaviour change is central to most effective responses to the HIV epidemic. It can be important to reduce further transmission of HIV, reduce discrimination, mobilise community responses and build consensus, and minimise harm associated with drug use and sex industry.

This guidebook provides information on:

- Problems with some common ways of thinking about behaviour change
- The behaviour change spiral
- The enabling environment for behaviour change
- Developing capacity for behaviour change
- How to design programs that help facilitate sustainable behaviour change
