A strategy refers to a general conceptual approach to address a health problem. It is derived from and consistent with the conceptualization of the health problem requiring remediation. A strategy is used to frame the overall design of an intervention. For instance, conceptualizing chronic insomnia from a cognitive perspective only (Harvey et al., 2007) highlights the need for a cognitive approach for intervention. The cognitive approach focuses on information processing (e.g. beliefs about factors contributing to and consequences of insomnia). In contrast, viewing chronic insomnia as a behavioral problem (e.g. Bootzin & Epstein, 2011) indicates the need for a behavioral approach for intervention. The behavioral approach focuses on sleep‐related behaviors and habits. As such, a strategy offers general principles to guide the selection and/or design of interventions that are commensurate with the overarching conceptualization of the health problem.
