Abstract
The centrality of behavior change in health systems development.
Highlights
The Global Health: Science and Practice editorial, ‘‘The 6 domains of behavior change: the missing health system building block,’’1 serves as a welcome reminder of the pivotal role of behavior change in health systems development
The editorial assumes that the absence of a ‘‘building block’’ on behavior change in the World Health Organization health systems strengthening (HSS) framework[2] represents a failure of the framework to adequately address the importance of behavior change in health systems development
Even a cursory review of the building blocks reveals the crucial role of behavior change and the presence of behavior change interventions in each of the 6 subsystems represented by the framework
