Activities

As shown in the Prepare: Examples section, the Intervention Web can be a helpful tool to brainstorm the key elements of your intervention. We suggest using the web as a starting point in preparing for the design process, which can then be revisited throughout your efforts. Specifically, soliciting feedback from peers and colleagues, project partners, and other stakeholders can help to refine the details in your web and strengthen the intervention process. 

Design Questions

1. What is the behavioral objective? What sustainable consumption problem are you aiming to address on your campus? Why is it an important sustainability problem? What factors do you think cause the problem that will need to be addressed?

2. What is the activity being done? What do you aim to do and how? What are the key features of your intervention? 

3. Who is the target group? Who is the target audience and why? What are their characteristics? How do they relate to the problem you are addressing or the solution that you are proposing? 

4. What is the effect on the target group? What do you hope to accomplish? How will the target group’s behavior be different?

5. How will success be measured? What indicators will inform you about the success of your intervention? How will you collect and analyze data?

6. What are expected risks and challenges? What obstacles need to be considered and why? What contingency plans do you have?

7. Who is implementing and who is supporting? How will students drive action? What are the logistics and procedures of your intervention? How will collaboration be managed?

8. What are the costs, materials, and time needed? What assets or resources could support you? How will these things be managed?
