The use of Core Processes when applying Intervention Mapping

Abstract

Core Processes are a helpful and systematic way to address questions that need to be answered to find evidence-based solutions in a problem-driven context. A valuable planning framework, such as Intervention Mapping, poses the right questions. While Core Processes are valuable to any planning framework, they are particularly well-suited to Intervention Mapping as they align with its foundational perspectives. These perspectives include embracing a participatory approach, using theory and evidence, and adopting an ecological approach. This article briefly explains Core Processes and how they align with Intervention Mapping and its foundational perspectives.
