Developing theory and evidence based intervention content using the Behaviour Change Wheel, Theoretical Domains Framework, and the Person-Based Approach: A worked example for an intervention targeting sedentary behaviour with people living with obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Both sedentary behaviour and obesity are independent risk factors for poor health and quality of life. Reducing sedentary behaviour is an important public health strategy. People with moderate or severe obesity have unique challenges to reducing sedentary behaviour.
