| Summary: | About this Podcast: Every new year sparks inspiration for new (or repetitive) resolutions and changes in personal behaviors and habits. Susan Michie is a clinical and health psychologist, who questions how behavior impacts the natural environment. While a large proportion of behavioral research is carried out in North America, where researchers have access to funding, Michie notes that "the biggest need [for research] is often where there's the least investment. There's no point in developing an intervention based on research evidence conducted in parts of the world that are very far away from the type of context we want to implement the findings in-only to find out it's not going to work." Michie and her team have used the COM B model to assess the capability, opportunity, and motivation necessary to change behavior. The differing demographics of those changing their behaviors will have an impact on behavior changes in the wider society. But who decides what behaviors will change? The podcast also explores the ethics of behavior change and how algorithms and machine learning will be essential to parse through all the relevant data. Michie touches on the strategies of policymakers and the legislation and the services and taxation, that need to work collaboratively to effect real change for social health issues such as smoking. |
