BC202 Advances in Behaviour Change Communication for HIVAIDS TB and Malaria (6-10 June, 2011 in Nairobi, Kenya)
: Promoting positive behaviour change is a complex process requiring a thorough understanding of what motivates people to adopt or resist new behaviours. Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) approaches recognise that presenting facts alone does not guarantee behaviour change. Individuals are greatly influenced not only by their own knowledge about issues but also by social pressures exerted by their peers and the larger community including culture, societal norms, laws and policies. BCC strategies are therefore designed to accommodate the stage of behaviour adoption of an individual and to impart knowledge and skills and provide psychosocial support that individuals need to initiate and sustain change.
