- Offering a personal fitness tracking app
- Supporting a community-led health programme
- Opening a supermarket in a food desert
- Distributing a healthy-eating leaflet

Hints
- Ask whether the intervention changes the person's information/skills only, or the surrounding conditions.
- Leaflets and apps target the individual; changing food access, advertising, or community capacity targets wider levels.
Show the answer
Individual-level only: Distributing a healthy-eating leaflet, Offering a personal fitness tracking app
Multi-level (addresses community/societal conditions): Opening a supermarket in a food desert, Changing local food-advertising policy, Supporting a community-led health programme
Leaflets and personal apps act only on individual knowledge and skills; opening a supermarket, changing advertising policy, and supporting community-led programmes change the conditions people act within. Individual-only efforts tend to have limited, short-lived impact against opposing community and societal forces.
