Phase 3 Sprint Activities
| Activitya | Description | Phase 3 Session |
|---|---|---|
| APEASE criteriab | The facilitator and a domain expert explained how APEASE criteria (acceptability, practicability, effectiveness, affordability, side-effects, and equity) can be used to evaluate and critique interventions and asked that participants consider these criteria as they engage in critiquing exercises.18 | 1 |
| Speed critique | The facilitator presented and described the top 2 sketches from phases 1 and 2. As each of the 4 sketches were presented one at a time, participants shared their feedback, critiques, and questions and allowed participants to provide critiques and pose questions about the sketches, whereas the technical support team recorded these comments. Once comments had been collected, the original creator of the sketch worked to answer any questions, and the facilitator guided a brief discussion to summarize the group’s thoughts and reflections for each sketch. Ultimately, the group found that the top scenes from each sketch (as determined by the heat maps in phases 1 and 2) fit well with each other and could be combined into 1, multi-step intervention. | 1 |
| Behavior Change Wheel discussionb | The facilitator and a domain expert reviewed the Behavior Change Wheel as a framework for designing effective interventions, and participants identified the sources of behavior, intervention functions, and policy categories through which their intervention would act.18 | 1 |
| Storyboarding | Participants selected a decider who would make the ultimate decisions as they moved through the storyboarding exercise. During the storyboarding exercise, participants identified an opening scene for where a patient with end-stage renal disease and pain would encounter their proposed intervention. From there, participants suggested next steps, also referred to as scenes, that the patient would go through as they moved through the intervention. The decider made the final decision for scenes during which the group struggled to meet consensus. Technical support recorded each step of the storyboard on a series of linked sticky notes on the Miro board. | 2 |
