Process followed to develop theory-informed behavior change interventions (from French et al., 2012).

Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Identify which barriers (behavioral determinants) need to be addressed for caregivers Determine within which theoretical domain the barriers operate from the theoretical domain framework Identify which empirically supported behavior-change technique is likely to overcome the barrier
Caregivers do not have time to complete the intervention; caregivers do not have time to complete implementation documentation Intentions (stability of intentions) Provide rewards for completion of tasks (reward technique)
Caregivers themselves have difficulties reading Beliefs about capabilities (self-confidence) Receive supportive and corrective feedback (feedback technique)
Caregivers are not comfortable with reading and may not view it as enjoyable Skills (skills development) Model/demonstrate behavior by others (model technique)
Caregivers have limited understanding of the benefits of reading to their children Beliefs about capabilities (empowerment) Encourage, support (encourage technique)
