Acceptability, reliability, and validity of a brief measure of capabilities, opportunities, and motivations ("COM-B").

Conclusions The novel six-item questionnaire shows evidence of acceptability, validity, and reliability for self-evaluating capabilities, opportunities, and motivations. Future research should aim to use this tool in different populations to obtain further support for its reliability and validity. Statement of contribution What is already known on the subject? The Capability, Opportunity, Motivation (COM), Behaviour (-B) model is being used extensively to inform intervention design. The lack of an accepted universal measure hinders progress in behaviour change. What does this study add? There is evidence of acceptability, validity, and reliability for self-evaluating COM. Our measure may be sufficiently generic for any behaviour or population, although this requires further testing. PMID: 32314500 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
