From: Intervention planning and modification of the BUMP intervention: a digital intervention for the early detection of raised blood pressure in pregnancy

Design objective

Key intervention features

Design objective 1: to motivate participants to undertake long-term adherence to SMBP during pregnancy

Inform women of the benefits and safety of SMBP in pregnancy as a way to protect the health of themselves and their baby

Emphasis on how to incorporate SMBP with daily routines, including promoting self-efficacy for overcoming potential barriers (i.e. during times of transition)

Motivational text messages to be sent each week covering areas related to known barriers and facilitators

Motivational messages reiterated in participant paper materials (such as participant booklet) to ensure all women receive the information

Design objective 2: participant materials are simple, clear and appropriate for women with lower health literacy

Short sentences, avoiding complex language and terminology (checked for appropriate reading levels)

Visual representation of processes where possible to accompany the text

All participant materials piloted with a diverse group of women and refined to ensure they are accessible and comprehensible to women with lower health literacy
