“Behavioral interventions” is a decades-old term used in public health, I utilized several during the Obama administration when HIV funding was greenlit widely.
You do behavioral interventions to increase the number of MSM (men who have sex with men) who ask about serostatus, or percentage of latino families where the mother is aware of local testing resources. Fairly specific things for specific areas with specific problems.
But this is all done without politics or judgment. Until now.
I have no faith in what’s to come, their version of “behavioral interventions” is likely to be heavily politicized and influenced by outside sources. And they’ll drop all of the useful, evidence-based ones that have been keeping the epidemic at bay.

Forgive me, I wasn’t aware there was a scientific definition of the term. I’m too hypersensitized to the way right wingers abuse and twist words.
Thanks for the information.
