Development of a Reliable Method for Characterising Smoking Cessation Behavioural Support in Practice

RESEARCH

Aim: To develop a reliable method for identifying and classifying the component behaviour change techniques (BCTs) of behavioural support interventions for smoking cessation as delivered in practice.

Research Questions:

Is it possible to develop a reliable method for specifying the BCTs used by English SSSs in the delivery of smoking cessation behavioural support by adapting an existing taxonomy of smoking cessation BCTs?
To what extent is this method reliable and feasible for use in practice?
