Intervention Mapping, a model based as well on theories, provides health promotion planners also with a framework for decision making at all the stages of intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation. There are five main steps in intervention mapping. Each steps involves several tasks. Completion of a task from each step creates a product which becomes a guide to the next step. Moving from one step to the next is not necessary a linear process. In practice the steps are intertwined and one moves from within the steps as many times as necessary depending on their context.

STEP 1: Proximal program objective matrices
·  State expected changes in behavior and environment
·  Specify performance objectives
·  Specify determinants
·  Create matrices of proximal program objectives, and write learning and change objectives.

STEP 2: Theory –based methods and practical strategies
·   Brainstorm methods
·   Transfer methods into practical strategies
·   Organize methods and strategies at each ecological level

STEP 3: Program plan
·   Operationalize the strategies into plans, considering implementers and sites
·   Develop design documents
·   Produce and pretest program materials with target groups and implementers

STEP 4: Adoption and implementation plan
·  Develop a linkage system
·  Specify adoption and implementation performance objectives
·  Specify determinants
·  Create matrix or planning table
·   Write an implementation plan

STEP 5: Evaluation plan
·  Develop an evaluation model
·  Develop effect and process evaluation questions
·  Develop indicators and measures
·  Specify evaluation designs
·  Write an evaluation plan
