How Do Australians Manage Diagnostic Testing Risks? Focus Groups Linked to a Model of Behaviour Change
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic tests carry significant risks, and communications are needed to help lay people consider these. The development of communications has been hindered by poor knowledge about how lay people understand and negotiate testing risks. We examined lay Australians' perceptions of diagnostic testing risks and how these risks are managed. METHOD: We completed 12 semistructured online focus groups with 61 Australian adults (18+) between…
How do people understand overtesting and overdiagnosis? Systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative research
Stakeholder Involvement in Systematic Reviews
Case study 1 describes stakeholder involvement in setting systematic review priorities
A guide to using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behaviour change to investigate implementation problems
BACKGROUND: Implementing new practices requires changes in the behaviour of relevant actors, and this is facilitated by understanding of the determinants of current and desired behaviours. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was developed by a collaboration of behavioural scientists and implementation researchers who identified theories relevant to implementation and grouped constructs from these theories into domains. The collaboration aimed…
The SPIRIT Action Framework
The recent proliferation of strategies designed to increase the use of research in health policy (knowledge exchange) demands better application of contemporary conceptual understandings of how research shapes policy. Predictive models, or action frameworks, are needed to organise existing knowledge and enable a more systematic approach to the selection and testing of intervention strategies. Useful action frameworks need to meet four criteria: h…
Validation of the theoretical domains framework for use in behaviour change and implementation research
Developing theory-informed behaviour change interventions to implement evidence into practice
BACKGROUND: There is little systematic operational guidance about how best to develop complex interventions to reduce the gap between practice and evidence. This article is one in a Series of articles documenting the development and use of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to advance the science of implementation research. METHODS: The intervention was developed considering three main components: theory, evidence, and practical issues. We u…
Email as a Data Collection Tool when Interviewing Older Adults
This article explores several aspects of electronic communication, specifically its advantages and disadvantages within the context of a brief experience using email to interview elders. Two older adults participated via email as the psychosocial impact of aging was collected using such venue. Our experiences are compared with published reports from others to analyze the benefits and limitations of email as a research tool. The email was spontane…
