Can we teach an old dog new tricks? Teaching behaviour change to health practitioners in Paraguay

Year: 2023

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: A ten-module training course on how to design, implement and evaluate theory- and evidence-based behaviour change interventions was provided to health technicians from the Tesai Reka Paraguay NGO. Questionnaires on knowledge of behaviour change, intention and self-efficacy towards using these methodologies were administered, with the ibefore, during and after the end of the training. The results showed an evolution in the technicians' knowledge, intention and self-efficacy. More robust methodologies (e.g., a control group) should be used and data about actual health promotion practices should be collected
