Table of changes for the coding framework.

Code	Full form	Meaning
IMP	Important for behavior change	This is an important change that is likely to affect behavior change or a precursor to behavior change (eg, acceptability, feasibility, persuasiveness, motivation, and engagement) or is in line with the logic model or with the guiding principles. For example, participants appear unconvinced by an aspect of the intervention, so you decide to add motivational examples.
EAS	Easy and uncontroversial	An easy and feasible change that does not involve any major design changes; for example, a participant was unsure of a technical term, so you add a definition.
REP	Repeatedly	This was said repeatedly by >1 participant.
EXP	Experience	This is supported by experience. Please specify what kind of experience; for example, patient and public involvement members agree this would be an appropriate change, and experts (eg, clinicians on your development team) agree that this would be an appropriate change. This is supported by evidence in the literature.
NCON	Does not contradict	This does not contradict experience (eg, evidence) or the logic model or the guiding principles.
NC	Not changed	It was decided not to make this change. Please explain why (eg, it would not be feasible or only one person said this).
