Michie et al.

Michie et al. developed a framework called the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to better understand and promote behavior change, especially in healthcare. The TDF identifies key psychological and contextual factors—like knowledge, skills, beliefs, and environmental influences—that influence why people do or do not adopt certain behaviors. By analyzing these factors, practitioners can design more effective interventions to encourage positive change, such as improving patient adherence or healthcare practices. Essentially, their work provides a structured way to understand the complex drivers behind actions and how to effectively target them.
