Module 5: What are the BCIO Tools?

Get trained to use the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO)

We are building an online training course on the use of the BCIO to supplement the guidance and information provided on this website. Each module consists of a video, a document with accompanying resources, and a short self-test quiz.

Module 1: What are ontologies and why are they useful?

Module 2: How can ontologies be used in behavioural science?

Module 3: What is the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO)

Module 4: What are the key components of the BCIO?

Module 5: What are the BCIO Tools?

Module 6: Behaviour change interventions and their contexts within the BCIO

Module 7: How to describe behaviour change interventions and their contexts using the BCIO

Module 8: How to use the BCIO to annotate study reports in evidence synthesis

Module 9: Using the BCIO to describe outcome behaviours

Module 10: An overview of the 'Ontology-Based Modelling System' (OBMS)

Module 5: What are the BCIO Tools?

We have created many tools to help you use the BCIO in your work. These include:

BCIO Search, a tool to search and explore the BCIO to find entities that you are looking for and cite them in your papers or protocols.
BCIO visualise, a tool to help you see how the entities in a particular part of the BCIO relate to each other.
The Paper Authoring Tool, a tool to help you use ontologies when describing interventions, population characteristics, settings etc. when you are writing study protocols or reporting study findings.

This module introduces you to these tools.
