Deck 11: Physical Activity Interventions: Planning and Design

Question 1

The Behaviour Change Wheel (Michie, van Stralen & West, 2011) is underpinned by the COM-B model which suggests that behaviour occurs as an interaction between which three necessary conditions?

A) Capability, opportunity, motivation - leading to the behaviour.
B) Capacity, opportunity, motivation - leading to the behaviour.
C) Capability, opportunity, mastery - leading to the behaviour.
D) Capacity, opportunity, mastery - leading to the behaviour.

Answer 1

Capability, opportunity, motivation - leading to the behaviour.

Question 2

Intervention mapping is a highly detailed process for which the central tenet is;

A) The need to understand the correlates of a behaviour and the contexts in which those correlates apply.
B) The need to ensure you have sufficient data on how the intervention is to be implemented.
C) The need to base decisions made during intervention planning, development and evaluation on theories and empirical evidence.
D) The need to adhere to a strict linear approach so that none of the steps are missed.

Answer 2

The need to base decisions made during intervention planning, development and evaluation on theories and empirical evidence.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the RE-AIM framework?

A) To evaluate the dimensions most important for implementation and provides a wider view for judging intervention effectiveness
B) To demonstrate that an intervention works and facilitates behaviour change.
C) To ensure public health initiatives are directed (AIMed) at those most likely to benefit.
D) To guide funding and implementation of health behaviour interventions.

Answer 3

To evaluate the dimensions most important for implementation and provides a wider view for judging intervention effectiveness

Question 4

The CALO-RE taxonomy defines and contextualises a number of behaviour change techniques (BCTs). This is useful because:

A) It suggests which techniques to use or which are most effective.
B) It improves the mapping of BCTs to constructs identified in behavioural theory.
C) It allows researchers to develop their own detailed descriptions of their intervention.
D) All of the above.

Question 5

Mediation analysis aids the development of interventions by:

A) Identifying critical components of interventions and providing evidence of 'what works' for changing behaviour
B) Proving or disproving the theoretical basis for the intervention.
C) Explaining the interaction between the participants and the environment.
D) Evaluating the effectiveness of those who delivered the intervention.

Question 6

Process evaluation is critical to intervention design because it:

A) Helps interventionists understand why a programme was or was not successful.
B) Addresses the question of whether the intervention operated as intended.
C) Provides information that can be used to refine and enhance the intervention in the future.
D) All of the above
