Table 1 Adapted Intervention mapping framework
Stage | What was done? |
|---|---|
Stage 1- Needs assessment | • Literature review of the problem of non-adherence, barriers to adherence, and existing interventions to support adherence to AET • Population of interest described • Overall goal for the intervention established and stated |
Stage 2- Intervention objectives | • Selection of behavioural determinants to be targeted, based on needs assessment and context of intervention • Intervention component objectives stated • Conceptual model created, detailing causal change pathways and hypothesised interactions between components |
Stage 3- Intervention Design | • Theories relevant to each determinant identified were considered • Existing interventions explored, informed by the needs assessment and practical applications considered |
Stage 4- Intervention development | • Intervention components finalised based on Stage 3 • Intervention development work completed; intervention materials created and drafted • Stakeholder input from clinicians, patients and research team used to refine intervention materials |
Stage 5- Implementation planning | • Implementation in the development phase discussed, and MOST optimisation objective outlined |
Stage 6- Evaluation plan | • Hypothesised interactions between intervention components outlined and explained • Evaluation plan considered |
