Resumen
Smoking in pregnancy remains a public health challenge. Our team developed a comprehensive intervention using the Behaviour Change Wheel to support clinicians? implementation of guidelines on supporting women to stop smoking in pregnancy. Integral to the intervention was a suite of evidence-based video and print materials. This paper describes the rationale and process for developing these materials. Comprehensive mixed methods research was undertaken to identify the key barriers and enablers for clinicians in implementing the guidelines. This research identified which behaviours required change, and which behaviour change techniques were best suited to effecting that change. Materials were developed based on this understanding, in a collaborative process with multiple stakeholders, and their feasibility and acceptability explored in a small trial. Materials developed included leadership, clinician and client resources. There are considerable advantages to systematically and collaboratively developing materials which are integral to a behaviour-change intervention even though it is resource intensive to do so.
