To understand how decisions made in the post-conflict moment shape the long-term trajectory of rebuilding health workforces, studies should use longitudinal research designs to examine changes in, and determinants of, HRM throughout each phase of reconstruction: from emergency and stabilisation, followed by transition and recovery, and into peace and development [ 8].
Our study is based on the behaviour change framework [ 11], which takes into account Argyris' theory [ 12] and the links between change processes and determinants of behaviour such as Prochaska's stages of change [ 13].

In addition, we choose the following variables focussing on change objectives and determinants: motivation/decisional balance, awareness of cessation support options, perception of personal health relevance, experience of social support, self-efficacy expectations and perception of quitting methods.
Changes in adherence and determinants were tested in the paired samples T-tests and expressed in effect sizes (Cohen's d).
The focus of follow-up will be on clinical (pain/disability severity) change and possible determinants of this.
