CHOICES (training syllabus)
This example of a training program using a social or behavioral change strategy comes from the CHOICES training program. The goal of the program is to help women choose healthy behaviors before and during pregnancy. To accomplish this, counselors must learn the technique of “Motivational Style Interviewing”. Learning is by watching experienced counselors use the technique and then practicing the technique with fellow trainees. The CHOICES Counselor training program is a six-module course with a blended approach to learning. CHOICES participants watch presenter-led videos on their own, then come together in facilitator-led webinars to learn in a socially-interactive sessions.
