description ABSTRACT Background and Aims Common diseases between humans and animals are one of the health problems of countries, which requires targeted intervention. The intervention mapping model provides guidance for choosing the most appropriate methods and applications. Since one of the most important challenges in the endemic areas of Iran is the control of brucellosis. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the intervention mapping model and its steps to design interventions to prevent this disease. Methods In this research, the practical steps of the Brucellosis prevention intervention were carried out with the intervention mapping approach in six steps from July 2023 to December 2023. In the first step, needs assessment was done through literature review, semi‐structured in‐depth interview and checklist. In the second step, the matrix of change objectives was designed. After selecting intervention methods based on theory and practical applications, and producing program components and materials, the intervention was implemented and evaluated. Results Intervention mapping helped us in designing and implementing the brucellosis control educational program with the participation of participants, specifying the definition of results, performance goals and determinants, theoretical methods, practical applications, intervention design, implementation and step‐by‐step evaluation. Conclusion The intervention mapping approach ensures the transparency of all intervention components and it provides a useful approach for developing behavior change interventions.
