There’s Never Just One Type’
Life story work is a way of supporting children who spend time in out-of-home care to make sense of their experiences. It is highly valued yet poorly evidenced and inconsistently implemented with adolescents aged 12–18 years old. We sought to improve our understandings of the ways in which carers are already supporting what we describe as adolescent-focused low-intensity life story work (AF-LI-LSW) to improve the quality, consistency and availabi…
Effects of the Covid-19 associated United Kingdom lockdown on physical activity in older adults at high risk of cardiovascular disease
Introduction Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, infections and dementia, as well as placing a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. The implementation of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures aimed at reducing virus transmission posed challenges to the opportunity to be physically active. This study investigates how the first UK COVID-19 lockdown affected objectively meas…
The Co‐Production, Pilot and Qualitative Evaluation of a Cancer Prevention Programme With High‐Risk Women Delivered on Group Walks by Cancer Champions
Development of a Smoke-Free Home Intervention for Families of Babies Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care
Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have a disproportionately higher number of parents who smoke tobacco compared to the general population. A baby's NICU admission offers a unique time to prompt behaviour change, and to emphasise the dangerous health risks of environmental tobacco smoke exposure to vulnerable infants. We sought to explore the views of mothers, fathers, wider family members, and healthcare professionals to develop an interventi…
A systematic review of the characteristics of interventions that promote physical activity in adults with asthma
Physical activity is promoted in the asthma population through pulmonary rehabilitation, but limited funding and facilities are available. This review aimed to examine the effectiveness of interventions that promote physical activity and identify the behaviour change techniques (BCTs) and other intervention components used. Five databases were searched, and 25 studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions had a significant positive effect on …
A model for effective partnership working to support programme evaluation
The use of multi-agency partnerships, including research-practice partnerships, to facilitate the development, implementation and evaluation of public health interventions has expanded in recent years. However, gaps remain in the understanding of influences on partnership working, and their capacity to facilitate and use evaluation, as well as the characteristics which lead to partnership effectiveness. We applied qualitative methods to explore e…
The effects of social distancing and self-isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic on adults diagnosed with asthma
This study aimed to explore how social distancing and self-isolation measures, aimed at protecting vulnerable groups from COVID-19, affected the wellbeing and physical activity levels among adults diagnosed with asthma. Twenty-seven participants took part across four online focus groups. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Participants reported becoming more health conscious due to being labelled as vulnerable. Their relationship w…

Re-Configuring Identity Postpartum and Sustained Abstinence or Relapse to Tobacco Smoking
Relapse to smoking postpartum is a common and important public health problem. Difficulty in adjusting to a non-smoking identity is a key factor prompting relapse. However, postpartum relapse prevention interventions rarely focus upon offering support for identity change. We conducted an exploratory inductive analysis of a dataset from the Prevention of Return to Smoking Postpartum (PReS) study to understand identity constructs and experiences of…
Development of a Complex Intervention for the Maintenance of Postpartum Smoking Abstinence
Relapse to tobacco smoking for pregnant women who quit is a major public health problem. Evidence-based approaches to intervention are urgently required. This study aimed to develop an intervention to be integrated into existing healthcare. A mixed methods approach included a theory-driven systematic review identifying promising behaviour change techniques for targeting smoking relapse prevention, and qualitative focus groups and interviews with …
Differences in objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour between white Europeans and south Asians recruited from primary care
ISRCTN83465245 Trial registration date: 14/06/2012
A randomised controlled trial of three very brief interventions for physical activity in primary care
Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN02863077 . Retrospectively registered 05/10/2012
Process evaluation of complex interventions
Process evaluation is an essential part of designing and testing complex interventions. New MRC guidance provides a framework for conducting and reporting process evaluation studies
Development and feasibility study of very brief interventions for physical activity in primary care
Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN02863077. Registered 5 October 2012
Process evaluation in complex public health intervention studies
Objective Infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Gram-negative bacteria have high morbidity and mortality with limited treatment options. Colistin, an antibiotic active against MDRO, was rarely used due to frequent adverse effects, but its use has now been recommended among adults. In this study, we determined the efficacy of colistin for the treatment of sepsis in neonates. Design/setting/patients/outcomes We conducted a r…
The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy (v1) of 93 Hierarchically Clustered Techniques
CONSORT guidelines call for precise reporting of behavior change interventions: we need rigorous methods of characterizing active content of interventions with precision and specificity.The objective of this study is to develop an extensive, consensually agreed hierarchically structured taxonomy of techniques [behavior change techniques (BCTs)] used in behavior change interventions.In a Delphi-type exercise, 14 experts rated labels and definition…
Systematic review of reviews of intervention components associated with increased effectiveness in dietary and physical activity interventions
Protocol for the Addition-Plus study
The ADDITION-Plus trial will establish the medium-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of adding an externally facilitated intervention tailored to support change in multiple behaviours among intensively-treated individuals with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes in primary care. Results will inform policy recommendations concerning the management of patients early in the course of diabetes. Findings will also improve understanding of the fa…
Who will increase their physical activity? Predictors of change in objectively measured physical activity over 12 months in the ProActive cohort
Traditional baseline determinants of self-reported physical activity targeted by behavioural interventions may be relatively weak predictors of change in objectively measured physical activity. Further research is needed to improve our understanding of factors influencing change in physical activity to inform the development and targeting of interventions
From Theory to Intervention
Theory provides a helpful basis for designing interventions to change behaviour but offers little guidance on how to do this. This paper aims to illustrate methods for developing an extensive list of behaviour change techniques (with definitions) and for linking techniques to theoretical constructs. A list of techniques and definitions was generated from techniques published in two systematic reviews, supplemented by “brainstorming” and a systema…
The ProActivetrial protocol – a randomised controlled trial of the efficacy of a family-based, domiciliary intervention programme to increase physical activity among individuals at high risk of diabet…
ProActive is the first efficacy trial of an intervention programme to promote physical activity in a defined high-risk group accessible through primary care. The intervention programme is based on psychological theory and evidence; it introduces and facilitates the use of self-regulatory skills to support behaviour change and maintenance. The trial addresses a range of methodological weaknesses in the field by careful specification and quality as…

Determinants of intentions to practise safe sex among 16–25 year-olds
This study aimed at predicting intentions to avoid casual sex and to use condoms, through self-efficacy, attitudes, optimistic bias in perceived risk, knowledge and past sexual risk behaviour. To this end, a mixed-sex sample of high school and university students between 16 and 25 years completed questionnaires at two points in time. Intentions to avoid casual sex were predicted positively by the attitude towards avoiding casual sex and assertive…
