Sinossi

The ABC of Behavior Change addresses the basics of behavior change: what to change and how. It has been written by a multi-disciplinary team of international experts to provide a broad summary of the factors involved and give concrete recommendations on how to manipulate the most important ones. Particular attention is given to: personal and psychological factors; social & environmental factors; communication, and the problems faced in changing behavior. A unique feature of this book is the Vademecum - a detachable guide that acts as a proactive index asking questions that challenge you to think more about your intervention. Chapter references follow pertinent questions to help alert you to topics you may have overlooked and should consider.
