Taxonomy of Behaviour Change Techniques
This is a great resource if you are interested in finding out more about the range of behaviour change techniques that are proven to be effective in behaviour change.
The taxonomy can be used formally to:
- “Code” and assess existing behaviour change programmes.
- Specify what you want included in behaviour-related service or programme specifications.
Informally, you might use the BCT taxonomy for inspiration or to familiarise yourself more with a range of techniques.
Use this resource with the behaviour change wheel and the interventions page on the BCT taxonomy website.
You can use the taxonomy to assess existing behaviour change programmes to identify if behaviour change techniques are being used.
You can also use the taxonomy to identify the most appropriate behaviour change techniques for your service or workforce whether you deliver services or commission services.
You can also download the easy-to-navigate and searchable version of the Behaviour Change Techniques.
