Behavioural public policy interventions have been implemented across the world, targeting citizens, professionals, politicians and policymakers. This article examines poor quality reporting of interventions and methods in some behavioural public policy research. This study undertakes a review of existing reporting standards to assess their suitability for the behavioural public policy context. The findings reveal that the adoption of standards can improve the reliability and reproducibility of research; provide a more robust evidence base from which to generalise findings; and convince sceptics of the value of behavioural public policy research. This study concludes that use of the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist and the Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy (BCTTv1) would add rigour to intervention reporting. This paper argues there is a need for a combined tool to guide the design and reporting of randomised controlled trials, incorporating elements from the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist and other sources.

Evidence suggests that Illness Representations (IRs: identity, cause, timeline, consequences and the ability to cure or control the condition) can improve understanding of how people talk about their health condition. Accumulating experience also indicates that people with a diagnosis of dementia are capable of taking about their condition in an insightful and meaningful way. This in-depth case study explored whether one health care triad (a person with a diagnosis of dementia (PWD), their caregiver and primary care doctor) spoke about diagnosis in terms of the Common Sense-Self Regulation Model (CS-SRM) and considers whether PWD IRs are understood by their caregiver and doctor. Each participant was asked a series of open questions, followed by questions prompting for each IR. The caregiver and doctor were interviewed about how the PWD thought. All talked about IRs without prompting, with the exception of cause. Prompting for IRs elicited additional data. There were areas where participants shared IRs, but also areas of difference, which, it is suggested, could have implications for health outcomes. The authors conclude that IRs can provide a theoretical framework for discovering how people think about dementia, which could improve shared understandings in clinical practice.
