Abstract

Intervention Mapping is a systematic theory- and evidence-based health promotion program planning framework that has been widely applied to diverse health topics by health promotion practitioners and researchers across the globe. This Lunch and Learn session will provide an overview of the six-step Intervention Mapping framework for planning multilevel health promotion programs, including steps to co-design, implement, and evaluate health promotion programs in collaboration with community partners, potential implementers, and end users.
