What is a common outcome if interventions are not personalized to the individual’s needs?

When interventions are not personalized to an individual's needs, the outcome is often reduced effectiveness. Personalization is critical in behavioral interventions because each individual has unique preferences, sensitivities, and learning styles. If an intervention does not take these factors into account, it is less likely to engage the person or address their specific challenges.

For instance, a method that works well for one individual might not resonate with another due to differences in motivation or underlying issues. This disconnect can lead to minimal progress or even the absence of meaningful change in behavior. Tailoring interventions ensures that they align with the person's goals, strengths, and needs, thereby enhancing their overall effectiveness.
