WHO/Europe has launched a new guide, providing support to countries on how to apply behavioural and cultural insights (BCI) for health. It presents a simple step-wise approach, complemented by a rich collection of detailed considerations, tools and exercises. The guide is the first of its kind, spec...ifically developed for use by public health professionals developing policies, services and communications informed by BCI across health topics.
Some of the most persistent public health challenges involve human behaviour. Using a BCI lens means that health policies, services and communications can be tailored to the needs and circumstances of people and communities, and thereby help combat these challenges. The new Tailoring Health Programmes (THP) guide describes how this can be done.
Building on several topic-specific guides that focused on applying BCI to routine and influenza vaccination and tackling antimicrobial resistance, as well as external evaluations and a rigorous peer-review process, this guide is the result of over a decade of work by WHO/Europe. The THP approach has already been adopted in over 20 countries and has received positive feedback from public health agencies.
“This guide is the culmination of a decade of work involving many colleagues at country, regional and global levels. The guide is our “BCI bible”, guiding our work with and in countries to help tackle persistent health challenges,” said Katrine Bach Habersaat, Regional Advisor for BCI at WHO/Europe.
Karina Godoy, Senior Analyst and National Focal Point for Behavioural Insights at the Public Health Agency of Sweden, who is employing the approach described in the guide across several health projects, comments: “The THP guide is easy to use and at the same time provides detailed guidance and inspiration where needed. We have decided to translate the document into Swedish and use the approach widely”.

Good practice examples from India
Чрезвычайные ситуации возникают по целому ряду причин: природные бедствия, такие как землетрясения и наводнения; вооруженные конфликты и гражданские войны; техно...енные катастрофы, включая радиационные аварии. Вне зависимости от природы пускового фактора результатом часто является череда человеческих страданий. Речь может идти о крупномасштабных вынужденных перемещениях населения, дефиците пищевых продуктов, вспышках болезней, нарушении прав и достоинства человека и смертях.
Путем публикации данных материалов ВОЗ ставит перед собой цель обеспечения того, чтобы в условиях чрезвычайной ситуации не упускались возможности для реформирования системы охраны психического здоровья.
