Steps for Using Method/Tool

The method guides users through four sections:

  1. Understand the barriers to change.
  2. Identify the barriers to change.
  3. Overcome barriers to change.
  4. Map barriers to methods.

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
