Using this method we analysed a transcript of the content of the NCSCT training module on Very Brief Advice on Secondhand Smoke2 for the presence of these BCTs. The behaviour change techniques contained within the NCSCT Very Brief Advice on Secondhand Smoke training module are: • Provide information on the consequences of smoking and smoking cessation (BCT code: BM1) • Barrier identification and problem solving (BCT code: BS1) • Assess current and past smoking behaviour (BCT code: RI1) • Provide reassurance (BCT code: RC10) • Assess number of contacts who smoke (BCT code: RI6) • Provide feedback on performance (BCT code: BM3) • Explain expectations regarding treatment programme (BCT code: RC4) • Emphasise choice (BCT code: RD2) • Goal setting (behavioural) (BCT code: BS4) • Prompt commitment from the client there and then (BCT code: BM6) • Build rapport (BCT code: RC1) • Provide normative information on other’s experiences (BCT code: BM5) • Advise on and facilitate use of social support (BCT code: A2) • Elicit client views (BCT code: RC8) • Help identify reasons for wanting/not wanting to stop smoking (BCT code: BM10) • Boost motivation and self-efficacy (BCT code: BM2) • Assess current readiness/ability to quit (BCT code: RI2) • Provide options for later/additional support (BCT code: A5) • Advise on stop smoking medications (BCT code: A1) References (1).
