Guide
to evaluating behaviourally and culturally informed health interventions in
complex settings (WHO/Europe)
COVID-19 has demonstrated beyond doubt the important
role that our behaviours and cultural contexts can play in the face of a health
challenge. More and more governments are therefore beginning to look seriously
at designing and implementing public health interventions that are informed by
behavioural and cultural insights (BCI). However, evaluating these
interventions, to make sure that they work as intended, can be difficult,
particularly when time and money are limited. WHO/Europe has now published its
“Guide to evaluating behaviourally and culturally informed health interventions
in complex settings”. It provides detailed information on how to evaluate the
effectiveness and sustainability of BCI interventions, particularly when the
conditions for attaining conclusive proof are difficult or impossible to meet.
Instead, using contribution analysis as a starting point,
this new WHO guide walks its readers through the process of creating
an evidence-informed claim for the effect of the intervention.
