Two novel AMPs established in this study would be potentially developed as extensive intervention for treating of infectious diseases.
The primary aim of ACTION-J is to examine the effectiveness of an extensive intervention for suicide attempters in prevention of recurrent suicidal behavior, as compared with standard intervention.
For the majority of the time, particularly outside of the review process, the statistical equating process runs smoothly, without the need for extensive intervention for the Board, and provides reasonable and justifiable pass mark recommendations which the Board finds acceptable.
The assumption of the maintenance programme is that participants are likely to be in the action phase, as they have been enrolled in the extensive intervention for at least eight months.
It includes a comprehensive early intervention program and an extensive intervention program for those retained.
They considered self-management more suitable for more extensive interventions provided during the chronic phase.
According to the nurses, the topic of self-management is more appropriate for a later phase, and can be better practised during more extensive interventions.
Focus group guides were developed to facilitate the FGDs, including questions on barriers and facilitators of maintaining a healthy lifestyle; expected needs of SLIMMER participants after the extensive intervention; suggested components for the maintenance programme of the SLIMMER intervention; and implementation methods, opportunities and barriers for these suggested components.
In the planning of the maintenance programme this was experienced to a lesser extent because the majority of implementers were already involved, and part of the materials, methods and applications had been developed for the extensive intervention.
For example, the extensive intervention adaptability of related HIV/AIDS interventions has been documented elsewhere [ 34], including the importance of intervention visibility and communications through revisions to key practices (e.g. evolving intervention "branding" and terminology to fit with local cultures and social norms) and community mobilization activities.
