Rationale
Informed by reviews of effectiveness evidence, NICE public health guidance 06 Behaviour change at population, community and individual levels sets out a set of generic principles and recommended actions to guide the planning and delivery of public health activities to change health related behaviour at the individual, community or population level. The NHS Health Scotland Commentary on this public health guidance supported these action points subject, where appropriate, to adaptation to fit Scottish organisational arrangements.[1]
