Abstract

We contend that individual-level ("i-frame") intervention strategies can be appropriately integrated with system-level ("s-frame") strategies to optimize population-level behavior change. We outline instances of effective "i-frame" interventions, and how coordinated, integrated, well-resourced interventions that encompass components at both levels, and has organizational and user-group support, may optimize sustained behavior change intervention efforts, and allay practices that undermine "s-frame" components.
