Negotiation Role in Counseling TIPS
1. The Role of Negotiation in Counseling:
Borrowing from TIPS (Trials of Improved
Practices)
CORE Spring Meeting May 2014
Janine Schooley, MPH
2. TIPS
A participatory, asset-
based approach
Based on concept of “test
marketting”
Negotiation and
experimentation leading to
practical, feasible
recommendations for
behavior change
Motivators and barriers are
key to those
recommendations working
3. Program participants try out a new practice
during a trial period to assess its feasibility
within the culture/situation
Has been used in many countries, primarily
for improving feeding of young children
Both research and implementation
4. TIPS indicate both what behaviors should be
included and not included in the program and
how best to promote them
Certain behaviors that are impossible to
predict precisely (such as childbirth) or which
take a long time (child immunization series)
are a challenge to test with TIPS
5. TIPS is:
Formative research
Empowering to the
client/patient
Can provide field workers
with much needed
practice in counseling
and negotiation skills
Really 2 kinds of TIPS:
negotiation TIPS and
learning TIPS
6. TIPS leads to a better understanding of:
Current practices -- Helpful? Harmful?
Don’t know? Among what group?
Problem (s)
Beliefs, practices, and influences
– Potential motivators
– Constraints
Recommendations
This then becomes the foundation
of counseling guidelines,
behavior change strategies, etc.
7. TIPS helps us pinpoint and
articulate:
Behaviors that are both
feasible and efficacious
Behaviors that the project
should NOT promote
Motivations and barriers
Level of change expected
Level of health and nutrition
impact expected
8. TIPS Steps: Field Work over 2-3 visits
(assessment, interviews,
observation)
Negotiation (feedback,
solutions, suggestions,
discussion, agreement,
evaluation)
Analysis (quantitative,
qualitative, influencers,
barriers, what was
easy/hard, how did they
overcome barriers,
perceived benefits,
intentions to continue? Etc.)
9. Negotiation Process
Introduce problem
Recommendations by
the mother
Recommendations by
the field staff
Motivators and
encouragement
Mother’s response and
compromise
Mother will try…
Result?
Reasons?
Will continue practice?
If not, why not?
10. So, what can we learn from TIPS
and how can we apply that learning
more broadly?
