The person-based approach to intervention development: A scoping review of methods and applications.

Background: The person-based approach (PBA) has emerged as a prominent methodology guiding the development of digital and hybrid health behaviour change interventions over the last decade, and there is a salient need to understand its utilization.

Objective: This study aims to describe which elements of the PBA have been utilised in intervention development research, for which populations, and how this has been reported.

Methods: A search for intervention development papers published between 2015 and 2023 using forward citation searches was undertaken in Scopus, using two seed articles.

Rapid microbiological respiratory point-of-care-testing: a qualitative study with primary care clinicians.

Background: Rapid microbiological point-of-care tests (POCTRM) present an opportunity to reduce antibiotic exposure and antimicrobial resistance. So far, there is limited understanding of how POCTRM may support clinicians in primary care in the UK and how POCTs might be integrated into practice.

Aim: To investigate clinicians' views on how POCTRM could influence clinical decisions and routine practice, and perspectives on how POCTRM may impact the clinician-patient relationship.

Self-monitoring of blood pressure following a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TASMIN5S): a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) control following stroke is important but currently sub-optimal. This trial aimed to determine whether self-monitoring of hypertension with telemonitoring and a treatment escalation protocol, results in lower BP than usual care in people with previous stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).

Methods: Unblinded randomised controlled trial, comparing a BP telemonitoring-based intervention with control (usual care) for hypertension management in 12 primary care practices in England.

A complex intervention to reduce antibiotic prescribing in rural China: a cluster randomised controlled trial.

Background: Excessive use of antibiotics is a widespread problem. We aim to evaluate the efficacy of a multifaceted intervention for reducing antibiotic use in patients with respiratory tract infections (RTIs).

Methods: In this two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial, we enrolled patients aged 18+ with symptomatic RTIs at 40 township health centers (THCs) selected from 10 counties in Anhui, China.

Qualitative service evaluation of a multimodal pilot service for early detection of liver disease in high-risk groups: 'Alright My Liver?'.

Objective: Liver disease is a growing cause of premature death in the UK. The National Health Service in England (NHS England) has funded regional early detection programmes through Community Liver Health Check pilots. 'Alright My Liver?' is Bristol and Severn's pilot service offering early detection of liver disease through screening events serving populations at risk, including people with a history of drug or alcohol use, type 2 diabetes and obesity.
