Table 4 Relationship between inductive and deductive concepts

From: Comparing inductive and deductive analysis techniques to understand health service implementation problems: a case study of childhood vaccination barriers

COM-B component

Deductive concepts (TDF domains)

Inductive concepts (data-driven barriers)

Capability

Knowledge

Lack of information about vaccination, false contraindications

Skills

Staff are unpleasant or poor communication, language barriers

Memory, Attention and Decision Processes

Reminder notice, missed opportunities, forgot

*Behavioural Regulation

Not represented

Opportunity

Environmental Context and Resources

First child, low income, media, distance, supply, cost, time

Social influences

Social exclusion, peer influence, trust, compliance, natural immunity

Motivation

Social/professional role and identity

Traditional beliefs and customs, role of parent, lack of coordinated care

Beliefs about Capabilities

Can control pathogens child is exposed to, lower parental satisfaction with care

*Optimism

Not represented

Beliefs about Consequences

Anticipated guilt, vaccine efficacy, disease severity/susceptibility, pain

Reinforcement

Well-baby clinic counselling, benefit to others, vaccination delay at 3 months

*Intentions

Practices about health and prevention (n=1 with lenient interpretation)

*Goals

Lack of motivation (n=1 with lenient interpretation)

Emotion

Anxiety about vaccination, fear of needles, psychosocial distress

  1. *Note: These 4 domains were not included in the first round of coding. Intentions and goals were later included after discussion with a very lenient interpretation of the inductive barriers to maximise the number of domains covered, given the aim of the exercise was to generate questionnaire items covering all possible behavioural influences. No inductive barriers could be interpreted as behavioural regulation or optimism
