Exploration of Factors Influencing Participation of Primary Eye Care Clinicians in Low Vision Services
This is the first study to qualitatively explore factors influencing participation of primary eye care clinicians in LV services and to explicitly apply behaviour change theory to do so. It provides a novel, comprehensive, in-depth and theory-based understanding of influences on primary eye care clinicians' participation in LV services. This evidence base is fundamental to designing successful theory-informed behaviour change interventions which aim to increase primary eye care clinicians' participation and facilitate LV service expansion.
