Applying state space grids methods to characterize counsellor-client interactions in a physical activity behavioural intervention for adults with disabilities.

Background: Physical activity (PA) counselling research has mainly focused on identifying which behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are delivered by a counsellor. Less is known about how BCTs are received by clients. State Space Grids (SSGs) is a dynamic system method that can be used to study counsellor-client interactions by examining frequencies, durations and sequences of BCT delivery and receipt.

A dynamic analysis of physical activity barriers experienced by adults with spinal cord injury.

Objectives: To track and evaluate changes in the number and types of physical activity barriers experienced by adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) in response to a physical activity counselling intervention, using a newly-developed tracking and coding method.

Design: A secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial of a physical activity behavioural intervention (#NCT03111030).

Setting: General community.

Measuring behavior change technique delivery and receipt in physical activity behavioral interventions.

Purpose/objective: Research on physical activity behavioral support has mainly focused on measuring the absence or presence of behavior change techniques (BCTs) delivered by a counselor. We present a method to measure BCT delivery and receipt in physical activity behavioral support interventions.

Research Method/design: The method was developed and tested using transcripts from behavior change counseling sessions delivered as part of a theory- and evidence-based physical activity intervention for adults with disabilities.

Improving Diabetes Care in the British Columbia Southern Interior: Developing Community‒University Initiatives to Address Service Gaps.

Objectives: Diabetes rates in the British Columbia (BC) interior are rising more rapidly compared with the rest of Canada, whereas diabetes service provision is limited within this region. The purposes of this article were: 1) to identify characteristics of diabetes service delivery; and 2) to co-develop community‒university diabetes research projects to address service barriers and gaps in the BC southern interior across urban, rural and Indigenous populations.

Methods: A 3-step approach was used.

Evaluation of a simulation-based Risk Management and Communication Masterclass to reduce the risk of complaints, medicolegal and dentolegal claims.

Objectives: To understand clinicians' experiences, learning and professional impacts following participation in a Risk Management and Communication Masterclass (RMCM) designed and delivered by Medical Protection Society. To identify the course's strengths and areas for enhancement.

Design: Mixed method study including semistructured telephone interviews.
