14. Behavioral Evidence Hub Website (B-Hub)
To be successful in implementing a change initiative, we need to clearly define the WHO, WHAT, and HOW. In practice, however, it can be difficult to locate evidence-based reports to guide the planning of a change initiatives. The Behavioral Evidence Hub (B-Hub) can facilitate this task. It provides a catalogue of over 100 projects using behavioral science in applied settings that showed evidence of impact in randomized experimental tests. To maximize its relevance for implementation teams, each project includes a summary of the challenge it faced, the implementation design, its impact, and guidelines for implementation.
