Interventions to improve implementation of evidencebased health care have achieved modest and variable success. Improving implementation depends on changing the behaviour of health professionals, managers, commissioners and others working within and with the health care system. Achieving and maintaining behaviour change within the ethical and practical constraints that typically operate remains...

Strengthening evaluation and implementation by specifying components of behaviour change interventions: a study protocol

BACKGROUND The importance of behaviour change in improving health is illustrated by the increasing investment by funding bodies in the development and evaluation of complex interventions to change population, patient, and practitioner behaviours. The development of effective interventions is hampered by the absence of a nomenclature to specify and report their content. This limits the possibili...

Interventions that change clinician behaviour:

Using a behaviour change techniques taxonomy to identify active ingredients within trials of implementation interventions for diabetes care

BACKGROUND Methodological guidelines for intervention reporting emphasise describing intervention content in detail. Despite this, systematic reviews of quality improvement (QI) implementation interventions continue to be limited by a lack of clarity and detail regarding the intervention content being evaluated. We aimed to apply the recently developed Behaviour Change Techniques Taxonomy versi...
