Table 2 Data-driven a priori typology developed to classify the nature and extent of overlap between ERIC strategies and BCTs

From: Examining the complementarity between the ERIC compilation of implementation strategies and the behaviour change technique taxonomy: a qualitative analysis

Type of overlap

Definition

Direct 1-1 overlap between ERIC implementation strategy and BCT

The ERIC strategy equates to a BCT, allowing for differences in terminology.

Clear BCT indicated in ERIC implementation strategy description

There is a BCT clearly indicated in the ERIC strategy and could be used to guide initial operationalisation. Other BCTs are possible as part of the strategy but not clearly indicated.

Probable BCT indicated in ERIC implementation strategy description

This BCT is logically indicated in the ERIC strategy given its title, definition, and/or description but not clearly or explicitly. Other BCTs may be possible depending on how the strategy is operationalised.

No BCTs indicated in ERIC implementation strategy description

There are no BCTs indicated directly or logically in the strategy definition or description, despite its focus on implementation.

ERIC implementation strategy not targeting behaviour change

The ERIC strategy does not appear to focus on behaviour change to support implementation.
