Sumario:The article reviews the *Handbook of Intervention Science: From Design to Implementation*, edited by Laura N. Gitlin and Sara J. Czaja, which comprehensively addresses the full lifecycle of behavioral interventions from initial design through implementation and scaling. The book fills a gap in public health research by integrating intervention development with real-world application, emphasizing multilevel socio-ecological contexts and cultural adaptations to enhance scalability and effectiveness. Organized into four parts, it covers topics including intervention theory, design, methodologies, and dissemination, supported by real-world examples primarily focused on older adult populations. This resource aims to guide both novice and experienced researchers in developing rigorous, equitable, and sustainable behavioral interventions.
