The final constructed framework entitled Creating Sustainable Engagement based on participant interviews. The central quadrants represent the four core themes of the framework, with component-specific (e.g., mood monitoring, activity scheduling) facilitators and barriers in the outer circle. When considering how to create engagement in activities that will continue beyond therapy time, it may be useful to consider the fit between particular BA components and the stage of the client’s ABI (The Right Tool at the Right Time); individual differences in perceptions of how effortful an activity is based on current capabilities (Perceived Effort), what emotional responses the client may have to BA (Emotional Impact), and how therapeutic targets link to the client values (Relation to Values). Component-specific facilitators and barriers are considered secondary to the central quadrants in considering ways to deliver BA therapy. Figure available under CC-BY 4.0 license [34]
