Table 1 Summary of the implementation intervention development process
Stages | Steps | |
|---|---|---|
Planning & design of the intervention | 1. Defining the problem in behavioural terms, identifying target behaviours, users and influences on behaviour (literature scoping, qualitative research, expert input) 2. Creating guiding principles & theoretical modelling (logic modelling) | Intervention planning: • Literature scoping and review • Qualitative research with target users • Formulating guiding principles (intervention design objectives and key features of intervention) • Behavioural analysis and construction of logic model |
Developing the intervention (components) | 3. Developing (drafting) intervention components & materials (design workshops) 4. Refining intervention materials (think-aloud interviews) | Intervention optimisation: • Draft/refine intervention materials • Qualitative piloting of draft materials • Refine guiding principles • Revisit behavioural analysis and refine logic model |
Implementing and evaluating the intervention | 5. Implementing the intervention in real-life context 6. Mixed-methods evaluation | Mixed-methods process evaluation: • Quantitative research • Qualitative research with users • Triangulation • Examine theory-based questions drawn from logic model |
