Stage model for behavior change

Object or form
Used to help answer questions like “How can a stage model potentially be used to reduce skin cancer cases?” the Stage Model is a model of behavioral intervention development composed of six stages: basic science (Stage 0), intervention generation, refinement, modification, and adaptation and pilot testing (Stage I); traditional efficacy testing (Stage II); efficacy testing with real-world providers (Stage III); effectiveness research (Stage IV) and; dissemination and implementation research (Stage V). Examination of mechanisms of behavior change is encouraged in every stage of intervention development. (National Institutes of Health)

Rules
1. Stage model interventions must be based on science.
2. The outcomes of the invention must be clearly defined.

4. The intervention must be designed to be effectively disseminated.

Moves
1. Define the behavior to be changed.

3. List beliefs, behaviors, or other values.
4. Determine stages of the intervention.
