Table 1 Overview of the Process for the Development of a Theory-informed Intervention, CASP

From: Development of the Cardiovascular Assessment Screening Program (CASP) using the qualitative findings of a mixed methods study and applying the TDF to address the barriers of and facilitators to comprehensive screening for cardiovascular disease

Steps

Actions

1. Identify the target behaviour of the HCP inconsistent use of CPGs in daily clinical practice for comprehensive CVD screening and management.

1. Performed a literature review to identify the target behaviour and to find effective interventions to promote HCP adherence to the C-CHANGE guideline.

2. Explore the barriers and facilitators related to CVD screening and find possible strategies within the local context.

2. Conducted focus groups and individual interviews using evidence-informed interview guides with HCPs, managers and interested members of the public; research team consensus on findings.

3. Match barriers and facilitators with potential solutions for clinician behaviour change during the integration of phase 1 findings.

3. Identified barriers and facilitators from research findings to: (a) match with the theoretical domains of the TDF and (b) choose relevant behaviour change techniques; research team discussion.

4. Combine the behaviour change techniques with the modes of delivery and strategies for the intervention.

4. Selected the modes of delivery congruent with the local context; researchers and technical support available at the local university to support the intervention components; research team consensus on intervention.

5. Finalize the CASP intervention components.

5. Obtained feedback on CASP from knowledge users and patient partners; reviewed components of intervention with research team.
