The playbook was developed to give program administrators and managers at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and other social programs an overview of how they can use insights from behavioral science to improve the effectiveness of their programs and services. This playbook is a step-by-step guide on how to identify behavioral problems and use strategies informed by behavioral science. In this playbook the DOL Behavioral Interventions (DOL-BI) project team describes the six-step process (Understand, Diagnose, Design, Support, Test, and Lear) used to develop and test behavioral interventions in partnership with three DOL agencies.
