Abstract

This chapter outlines a stepwise approach to implementing behaviour change strategies in chronic disease. In the first part of this chapter, examples of determinants of target behaviours discussed in Chapter 3 are listed, based on case studies developed in the Train4Health project and in the literature. This includes barriers or opportunities (facilitators) for diet, physical activity, smoking cessation and medication adherence. Next, a brief description of approaches to assess key determinants is presented. The second part of this chapter begins with an overview of the classification of behaviour change techniques. Then, we offer guidance for the development of an intervention plan, covering how behaviour change techniques can be implemented in practice, considering potential barriers to the target behaviour, the length of the intervention and the modes through which they can be delivered.
