Acknowledgements A Practical Guide to Conducting a Barrier Analysis draws heavily on both the 2011 version of the Designing for Behavior Change (DBC) Curriculum developed through the TOPS Project by Linda Morales, Judiann McNulty, Tom Davis, and Bonnie Kittle and the 2004 Barrier Analysis Facilitator’s Guide written by Tom Davis. The creative skills of Tom Davis, Linda Morales, and Judiann McNulty are amply reflected in this guide. The following people shared their insights into their experiences in organizing and conducting Doer/Non-Doer Studies and Barrier Analyses and made suggestions for what to include in this guide: Justin Colvard, Lotta Adelstal and Lucky Kalisya (Mercy Corps); Andrea Cuthrell and Jean Pierre Okitakoy (Food for the Hungry); Bernad Ochieng and Andy Melendez (American Red Cross); Erica Phillips (Cornel University); Sarah Bauler (Samaritan’s Purse); Lael Kucera (Water for Life); Franck Flachenberg (Concern Worldwide); and Marjolein Moreaux and Judiann McNulty (independent consultants). I am grateful for the support of Mitzi Hanold (Food for the Hungry) for sharing ideas on how to teach coding and of the participants in my October 2012 DBC course for providing responses that allowed me to design the coding game. The quality improvement verification checklist (QIVC) is based on one initially developed by Food for the Hungry. Many thanks to Tom Davis, Mitzi Hanold, and Mary DeCoster (Food for the Hungry); Justin Colvard (Mercy Corps); and Jennifer Nielsen (Helen Keller International) who took time from their busy schedules to review the draft curriculum and make very helpful recommendations. Also, thanks to CORE Group for assisting with the final formatting of the curriculum and for disseminating it throughout the CORE Group Community Health Network. Finally, I appreciate the opportunity that Helen Keller International/Democratic Republic of Congo afforded me to develop this practical guide because it will not only support their work, but will be used by scores of other organizations to improve social and behavior change (SBC) programming around the world.
