Brewis, A., Wutich, A. (2019) Why We Should Never Do It: Stigma as a Behavior Change Tool

Stigma is used as a tool for motivating health behaviour change, often effective at budging otherwise hard-to-shift behaviour. Shame-induced stigma most damages those already vulnerable, reinforcing health disparities. Global health use of shaming tactics can inadvertently worsen health-damaging stigma, especially for those with the least power. These effects, that drive additional health disparities and suffering, are difficult to prevent. Ethically and practically, stigma should never be deployed as a […]

Bonino, F., Warner, A. (2014) What Makes Feedback Mechanisms Work?

This literature review supports a broader ALNAP and CDA initiative aiming at producing evidence-informed guidance for humanitarian agencies on ways to strengthen the effectiveness of mechanisms for gathering feedback from affected populations in humanitarian contexts.

Bolton, L., Kanguru, L. (2013) Helpdesk Report: Community-Led Total Sanitation in Africa

Evidence and comments suggest that CLTS has been successful in some cases in Africa, however it is difficult to find strong data to support this. Claims to have achieved Open Defecation Free (ODF) status have often been exaggerated and estimates of numbers of ODF communities inflated. Verification systems need to be improved. Another problem is that ODF is an absolute condition, important as a community objective […]

Bandura, A. (1977) Self-Efficacy: Toward a Unifying Theory of Behavioral Change

The present article presents an integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment. This theory states that psychological procedures, whatever their form, alter the level and strength of self-efficacy. It is hypothesized that expectations of personal efficacy determine whether coping behavior will be initiated, how much effort will be expended, and how long it will be sustained […]
