Journal Article
Hoskins, G., Williams, B., Abhyankar, P., Donnan, P., Duncan, E., Pinnock, H., …Sheikh, A. (2016). Achieving Good Outcomes for Asthma Living (GOAL): Mixed methods feasibility and pilot cluster randomised controlled trial of a practical intervention for

Background Despite being a core component of self-management, goal setting is rarely used in routine care. We piloted a primary care, nurse-led intervention called Achieving Good Outcomes for Asthma Living (GOAL) for adults with asthma. Patients wer...

Aims To evaluate the efficacy of a behaviour change technique-based intervention and compare two possible modes of delivery (text+visual and text-only) with usual care. Background Patient delay prevents many people from achieving optimal benefit o...

Background Failure to successfully implement and sustain change over the long term continues to be a major problem in health and social care. Translating evidence into routine clinical practice is notoriously complex, and it is recognised that to im...

Optimising the validity and completion of adherence diaries: A multiple case study and randomised crossover trial (2016)
Journal Article
Frost, R., McClurg, D., Brady, M., & Williams, B. (2016). Optimising the validity and completion of adherence diaries: A multiple case study and randomised crossover trial. Trials, 17, Article 489. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-016-1615-7

BACKGROUND: Diaries are the most commonly used adherence measurement method in home-based rehabilitation trials, yet their completion and validity varies widely between trials. We aimed to: (1) generate theory to explain this variation, (2) create a...

Form of delivery as a key ‘active ingredient’ in behaviour change interventions (2016)
Journal Article
Dombrowski, S. U., O'Carroll, R. E., & Williams, B. (2016). Form of delivery as a key ‘active ingredient’ in behaviour change interventions. British Journal of Health Psychology, 21(4), 733-740. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.12203

First paragraph:The form of delivery (FoD) is a vital part of any behaviour change intervention and not merely a by-product of operationalising theory and behaviour change techniques (BCTs). Behaviour change interventions consist of three broad group... Read More about Form of delivery as a key ‘active ingredient’ in behaviour change interventions.

A theory-informed approach to developing visually mediated interventions to change behaviour using an asthma and physical activity intervention exemplar (2016)
Journal Article
Murray, J., Williams, B., Hoskins, G., Skar, S., McGhee, J., Treweek, S., …Gauld, D. (2016). A theory-informed approach to developing visually mediated interventions to change behaviour using an asthma and physical activity intervention exemplar. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2, Article 46. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-016-0091-x

Background Visualisation techniques are used in a range of healthcare interventions. However, these frequently lack a coherent rationale or clear theoretical basis. This lack of definition and explicit targeting of the underlying mechanisms may impe...

Physical activity participation in community dwelling stroke survivors: synergy and dissonance between motivation and capability. A qualitative study (2016)
Journal Article

Objectives The evidence supporting benefits of physical activity (PA) on fitness, functioning, health and secondary prevention after stroke is compelling. However, many stroke survivors remain insufficiently active. This study explored survivors’ pe...
