Step | Tasks |
---|---|
STEP 1: Who needs to do what, differently? | · Identify the evidence-practice gap · Specify the behaviour change needed to reduce the evidence-practice gap · Specify the health professional group whose behaviour needs changing |
STEP 2: Using a theoretical framework, which barriers and enablers need to be addressed? | · From the literature, and experience of the development team, select which theory(ies), or theoretical framework(s), are likely to inform the pathways of change · Use the chosen theory(ies), or framework, to identify the pathway(s) of change and the possible barriers and enablers to that pathway · Use qualitative and/or quantitative methods to identify barriers and enablers to behaviour change |
STEP 3: Which intervention components (behaviour change techniques and mode(s) of delivery) could overcome the modifiable barriers and enhance the enablers? | · Use the chosen theory, or framework, to identify potential behaviour change techniques to overcome the barriers and enhance the enablers · Identify evidence to inform the selection of potential behaviour change techniques and modes of delivery · Identify what is likely to be feasible, locally relevant, and acceptable and combine identified components into an acceptable intervention that can be delivered |
STEP 4: How can behaviour change be measured and understood? | · Identify mediators of change to investigate the proposed pathways of change · Select appropriate outcome measures · Determine feasibility of outcomes to be measured |
