Study Notes
Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs)
- Interventions aimed at changing processes that govern behavior (Michie et al., 2013).
- Taxonomy provides a systematic classification of BCTs to ensure consistency and replicability.
Importance of Taxonomy
- Developed through expert consensus to standardize understanding.
- Facilitates scientific evaluation, ensuring that interventions are replicable in research settings.
BCT Taxonomies Overview
- Abraham and Michie (2008): Identified 26 techniques.
- BCT Taxonomy Version 1 (BCTTv1): Comprises 93 techniques within 16 categories.
- Compendium of Self-executable Techniques: Lists 123 techniques for individual application.
- Focus on chronic disease management includes 21 unique techniques.
Considerations for Using Taxonomies
- Variations in language across different taxonomies may exist.
- Emphasis is on individual techniques rather than broader socio-ecological frameworks.
Selecting Effective Techniques
- Effectiveness impacted by health status, target population, behavioral context, modality, and duration of interventions.
Mechanisms of Action
- Self-monitoring: Enhances awareness and motivation through tracking behavior.
- Implementation Intentions: Plans for specific behaviors in response to situational triggers.
Incentives and Rewards
- Incentives: Create awareness of rewards based on behavior.
- Rewards: Provide direct benefits for achieving certain actions; effective in chronic disease prevention.
Motivation Types
- Extrinsic: Driven by external rewards or consequences.
- Intrinsic: Motivated by internal factors like autonomy and enjoyment.
Gamification
- Integrates game-like elements (e.g., leaderboards, points) to boost motivation; demonstrates small to medium effects on physical activity.
Temptation Bundling
- Links pleasurable activities with necessary behavior, enhancing adherence, especially for busy individuals.
Tailoring BCTs
- Strategies must match specific behaviors, population characteristics, and individual factors; rely on evidence-based practices.
Theory-Matched BCTs
- Transtheoretical Model (TTM): Uses stages of change to inform selection of behaviors to target.
- COM-B Model: Emphasizes the role of Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation in behavior change.
Designing Interventions
- Intervention Length: Distinct approaches for short-term or long-term engagements.
- Intervention Mode: Can be implemented face-to-face, digitally, or through hybrid methods.
Developing Healthy Habits
- Choose enjoyable behaviors, identify stable contexts, practice behaviors consistently, track progress, and reward efforts.
Breaking Unhealthy Habits
- Disrupt existing cues, introduce alternative behaviors, and engage in self-monitoring to better understand triggers.
Person-Centered Behaviour Change Support
- Empowerment: Supports informed decision-making about personal health.
- Shared Decision-Making: Promotes collaboration between health professionals and individuals for better outcomes.
Health Literacy and Education
- Elicit-Provide-Elicit Technique: Fosters understanding by engaging individuals in knowledge exchange.
- Effective education should include diverse media and straightforward language with comprehension checks.
Communication Skills
- Address resistance through motivational interviewing which involves empathy and supportive techniques.
MI Techniques
- Methodologies such as affirmation, reframing, and confidence-building aid in behavior change.
Questioning and Listening Skills
- Employ open-ended queries and active listening to involve individuals in the behavior change process.

Description
This quiz explores Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) and their classifications as defined by Michie et al. (2013). It discusses the importance of using a taxonomy for behavior change interventions, developed through expert consensus. Additionally, it highlights examples of various BCT taxonomies, including those by Abraham and Michie.
