Putting Intervention Mapping on the Map: An Open Educational Special Issue

Abstract

Intervention development, evaluation, and implementation are central to health psychology, yet much of the accumulated knowledge remains behind closed sources. This special issue makes expertise on Intervention Mapping openly accessible as an educational resource for scholars, citizens, and students. The first part of the issue covers each of the six steps of Intervention Mapping through case studies and practical guidance, complemented by two additional contributions that broaden perspectives on its use and application. Together, the articles provide both foundational insights and reflective lessons, aiming to inspire a wider and more diverse community of Intervention Mapping users.
