Health Education for Behaviour Change: A Work-Book to Improve Skills

Published by Network Learning, this 41-page manual aims to lead a group of health workers through a series of discussions and exercises. The purpose of this manual is to help health workers to:

• "Identify and acquire the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need to make behaviour changes in themselves and others;
• Identify what else is necessary to achieve behaviour change - services, resources etc. - with suggestions for getting them;
• learn about behaviour in individuals and in groups."

The manual is divided into three sections: "Why People Act as They Do - The Roots of Behavior", "Factors that Influence People to Consider Change", and "Helping Clients Change". Worksheets, checklists, and two pages of ideas for role-playing stories are also provided.
