Summary

This is a comprehensive edited handbook synthesising contemporary theory, research and practice on behaviour change across multiple disciplines including psychology, sociology, behavioural science, economics, philosophy and implementation science. It is positioned as a reference resource for developing evidence-based interventions to address social problems linked to human behaviour across health, education, workplace and social relationship domains. The work brings together contributions from leading theorists and practitioners to provide current knowledge and practical guidance on behaviour change.

Regional applicability

The handbook is discipline-wide and cross-domain in scope, with no specific geographic focus declared. Its applicability to United Kingdom policy and practice depends on whether the included chapters address UK-relevant contexts and whether behaviour change evidence generalises across national contexts; this cannot be determined from the abstract alone.

Key measures

Not applicable — handbook synthesis rather than primary research measurement
