Table 6 Potential solutions mapped to intervention functions of the Behaviour Change Wheel; Belief statements that comprise each target are given in paratheses following the target in the first column
Overarching target (Belief statements comprising) | COM-B domains | Intervention functions | Possible strategies for CTU management/staff |
|---|---|---|---|
Awareness of findings (Dedicated channels for dissemination, like network events and conferences, are helpful ( +); Conferences and network events are a great opportunity to share implementation research and experience ( +); It’s difficult to know what research is out there ( −)) | Physical opportunity, Social opportunity, Psychological capability | Education, Enablement Environmental restructuring, Modelling, Training | Conference sessions on new trial method research findings—at both clinical and methods conferences |
Effort required to implement findings (The resources that findings are packaged with help make them more implementable ( +); We have to prioritise what’s relevant to the trials our CTU delivers ( −); You should be able to adapt findings to your CTU ( −)) | Physical opportunity, Psychological capability, Reflective motivation | Education, Enablement, Training | Produce recommendations on how to best package findings to make them easier to implement |
Changes to culture (Funders drive what we prioritise through shifts in research culture ( ~); Involvement in trial method projects support implementation ( +); Funders drive what we prioritise through funding ( ~) | Social opportunity, Physical opportunity | Enablement, Environmental restructuring | Petition funders to provide dedicated funding to CTUs for implementation efforts |
Multiple targets: one or more of the above three targets | Physical opportunity, Social opportunity, Reflective motivation, Psychological capability | Enablement, Environmental restructuring, Modelling | Establish/modify internal meetings to focus on implementation (Awareness/Culture) |
Physical opportunity | Enablement, Environmental restructuring | Establish role/group of implementation champions (Awareness/Culture) | |
Reflective motivation | Education, Incentivisation, Persuasion | Reward staff for successful integration/adherence to changes in practice (Effort/Culture) | |
Physical opportunity, Social opportunity, Psychological capability | Education, Enablement, Environmental restructuring, Training | Funders host findings on website, provide resources/training on implementation into methods practice (Awareness/Culture) | |
Physical opportunity, Psychological capability | Education, Enablement, Environmental restructuring, Training | Review of current dissemination channels and their level of engagement (Awareness/Culture) |
