  1. Integrative Theory and Systems Thinking

  2. Adaptation, Translation, and Global Application Chapter 19 Text DiClemente, R. J., Crosby, R. A., & Kegler, M. C. Issues and Challenges in Applying Theory in Health Promotion Practice and Research

  3. Theory as a Road Map • Theory is instrumental to the: • Design • Implementation • Evaluation Of health promotion interventions / prevention activities It is important to choose the right one(s)!

  4. Priorities for Advancing Theory • Testing in practice-based settings • Importance of evaluation research • Intervention Research • Efficacy vs. effectiveness • Internal vs. external validity • Context, Context, Context! (more later) • Generalizability: The utility of good common measurement systems

  5. Priorities for Advancing Theory • Transferring across cultures • Context, context, context! In what sense? • So then, what is culture? • Identify stable theoretical constructs • Cultural relevance and appropriateness • No impact? What is to blame? • Adaptation/Transference Strategies: • Assessment • Deciding on the right theory • Use of experts

  6. Priorities for Advancing Theory • Expanding Ecological Theories • Emphasis on multi-level understanding of individual, social and cultural environment. What’s missing? • A need to focus on leveraging change. How? • Fortify theoretical underpinnings? • Macro-level change and disparities • Feasibility • Flexibility

  8. Contextualist Framework • Contrasted from mechanistic models: truth criterion is “predictive verification” • Contextualism: truth criterion is “successful working” with emphasis on outcomes • Functional Contextualism, focusing on: • Identifying variables that allow the prediction of behaviors, and • Influencing (changing) behaviors via manipulation of environmental variables • How does the TTI fit this model?

  9. Research to Practice • Research based on a mechanistic perspective does not make sense to integrate with practice. Why? (p. 17) • Contextualism: Novelty and generalizability • Uniqueness does not negate the possibility of analysis • Does not require that relationships be generalizable to other areas • Generalization infers sameness • Theory-making that focuses on change variables

  10. Mitchie, S. et al. (2008). Applied Psychology, 57(4), 660-680. From Theory to Intervention: Mapping theoretically derived behavioural determinants to behaviour change techniques

  11. A Need for guidance on how to develop theoretically-based techniques to change behavioral determinants.

  12. Development of a Procedure • Step 1: Generating a list of techniques and definitions • Brainstorming • Researching textbooks • Creating a matrix (inter-rater reliability) • Step 2: Mapping techniques to behavioral determinants • Consultation with experts (Delta method)

  13. Further Uses • Helpful in describing interventions that do not have an explicit theoretical basis (as long as they match with the 11 constructed domains) • Can be used to describe interventions published in journal articles • How else might they be useful?
