| Description | The Human Behaviour Change Project (HBCP) funded by the Wellcome Trust, and the Advancing Prevention Research in Cancer through Ontology Tools (APRICOT) Project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, are developing the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology and associated tools and resources to be used in reporting research; linking datasets and synthesising evidence; and AI/machine learning algorithms to predict intervention outcomes in novel scenarios. The overall aim of these projects is to automate evidence searching, synthesis and interpretation to rapidly address questions from policy-makers, practitioners and others to answer ‘What works, compared with what, how well, with what exposure, with what behaviours (for how long), for whom, in what settings and why?’. To achieve this, ontologies can help structure evidence, i.e., link evidence with a shared formal description of classes and relationships capturing domain knowledge in order to enable aggregation and semantic querying. We are developing and maintaining the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO) to do this. |
