Intervention development to reduce sedentary behaviour among adults: a qualitative investigation using the Behaviour Change Wheel.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundReducing prolonged sedentary behaviour is recommended to improve population health. The development of behaviour change interventions requires understanding context-specific determinants, which may differ across domains of transportation, occupational, and leisure time sedentary behaviour. This study aimed to use the Behaviour Change Wheel to inform the development of domain-specific intervention strategies for reducing prolonged sedentary behaviour among Canadian adults.
methodsOne-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with a diverse sample of adult participants from across Canada. Determinants of reducing prolonged sedentary behaviour were identified through thematic analysis and characterized according to their relevance to domains of transportation, occupational, and leisure time sedentary behaviour. The Behaviour Change Wheel and Behaviour Change Techniques Taxonomy (BCTTv1) were used to identify intervention strategies, components, and modes of delivery specific to and across behavioural domains.
resultsThirty participants were interviewed (63% women, 60% age 25–44, and 50% identified as white). While all participants endorsed potential benefits of and personal goals related to reducing prolonged sedentary time, many had difficulty implementing these changes in their day-to-day life. Most participants identified leisure time as the domain in which they were most keen to reduce prolonged sedentary time. Barriers to reducing sedentary behaviour varied by domain: transportation-related barriers were primarily linked to physical opportunity, occupational barriers to social opportunity, and leisure time barriers to automatic motivation. Intervention techniques including prompts/cues, self-monitoring, and goal setting were identified to overcome barriers to reducing sedentary behaviour across domains. Restructuring the physical and social environment were identified as being particularly significant for enabling behaviour change in transportation and occupational domains, respectively.
conclusionsIndividual-level interventions, such as goal-oriented prompts or cues, may be well-suited to reducing leisure time sedentary behaviour. In contrast, multilevel interventions, including organizational social restructuring and urban planning policy changes may be needed to address significant opportunity-related barriers in occupational and transportation domains.
