Concept Mapping Defined:

Concept mapping is a methodology which effectively gathers, integrates and visually and numerically represents the composite thinking of a group of relevant and expert stakeholders around a complex social phenomenon e.g. the determinants of physical activity behaviour, intervention and policy implementation needs. The conclusions of a concept mapping exercise can be used to inform new theory development, to design new and effective interventions, policy and programmes, to inform evaluation methodologies and to increase our understanding of the nature, structure and interaction of factors pertaining to societal processes. 

Date & Time of Group Concept Mapping Events:

• Group Concept Mapping Webinar Thursday 23^rd September 13.00 – 16.30 (GMT); 14.00-17.30 (CET).
