Iterative four-phase development of a theory-based digital behaviour change intervention to reduce occupational sedentary behaviour.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

As high amounts of occupational sitting have been associated with negative health consequences, designing workplace interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour (SB) is of public health interest. Digital technology may serve as a cost-effective and scalable platform to deliver such an intervention. This study describes the iterative development of a theory-based, digital behaviour change intervention to reduce occupational SB.

Methods

The behaviour change wheel and The Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy were used to guide the intervention design process and form a basis for selecting the intervention components. The development process consisted of four phases: phase 1 - preliminary research, phase 2 - consensus workshops, phase 3 - white boarding and phase 4 -
