Steps and tasks in Intervention mapping
Step 1: what is the problem?
VIDEO | Universities extend winter break
- Prior research: what did others
as students deal with online-learning
theorize or find about this problem?
burnout
- Need assessment: what does the
target group say about their own https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Step 2: what are the objectives? What is
the desired change?
| Valente, 2012 |
- What individuals need to learn/do
Network interventions (NI) = people can be
(learning objectives)
effectively influenced through their social
- What must be changed in the
network to adopt new behavior
organization or community
(change objectives) NI is the process of using social networks
or social networks data to accelerate social
What are the determinants of the problem?
change, generate influence, achieve
- Personal determinants: individual desirable outcomes
factors, cognitive factors, etc
- External determinants: social and
structural factors (culture, religion, Network interventions strategies
norms/values)
The strategy descried which components of
What is the evidence that changing the social network will be targeted
these determination will lead to a
desired change? Decision is based on the available social
network data (e.g. sociogram)
Who is the target population?
Induvial level: targeting specific
- Are there sub-populations? (gender, individuals in a social network nodes,
age, ethnicity, etc) influences, opinion leaders
Step 3: identifying potential intervention Segmentation: targeting a specific group
methods within a social network
- How can the determinants be Induction: generating new connection
influences in order to elicit a among individuals, e.g. word of mouth
desired change? (ALS bucket challenge)
- Look into prior research on these
methods, were they effective? Alteration: See Valente (2012)
- Translate methods into actual
strategies

Benefits of social media interventions Social media intervention in sexual health
- Increase interactions with others promotion
- More available, shared and tailored Wicked problem: low sexual health of
information young, low SES (Socioeconomic status)
- Increase accessibility & widening people
access
- Peer/social/emotional support Goal: promoting condom use for STI
- Public health surveillance prevention
- Potential to influence health policy Method: STI prevention messages

Measures:
Limitations of Social media interventions
- 2 months: follow-up behavioral risk
assessment - Lack of reliability of information
- 6 months: second follow-up (what does engagement with a post
assessment mean?)
- Privacy, confidentiality, data
Results: security issues
- Information overload
- Self-report is the most often used
measure
- Self-selection is opposed to
randomization
- High participant dropout rate
How to choose a platform?

- Generational differences in social
media use in frequency, preferred
platforms
- Gender differences in social media
