“…The starting point of the intervention development approach was material arising from the UK-based MCLASS trial [ 26 ], for which a package of SFH materials was developed that drew upon consensus around the religious prohibition of the use of tobacco products among Muslims [ 27 , 28 ], and evidence that a complex intervention that included a mosque-based component had promising effects on SFH prevalence [ 29 ]. The MCLASS intervention took a settings-based approach, seeking to support health-promoting environments.…”

Introduction Deaths from second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure are increasing, but there is not sufficient evidence to recommend a particular SHS intervention or intervention development approach. Despite the available guidance on intervention reporting, and on the role and nature of pilot and feasibility studies, partial reporting of SHS interventions is common. The decision-making whilst developing such interventions is often under-reported. This paper describes the processes and decisions employed during transitioning from the aim of adapting an existing mosque-based intervention focused on public health messages, to the development of the content of novel community-based Smoke-Free Home (SFH) intervention. The intervention aims to promote smoke-free homes to reduce non-smokers’ exposure to SHS in the home via faith-based messages. Methods The development of the SFH intervention had four sequential phases: in-depth interviews with adults in households in Dhaka, identification of an intervention programme theory and content with Islamic scholars from the Bangladesh Islamic Foundation (BIF), user testing of candidate intervention content with adults, and iterative intervention development workshops with Imams and khatibs who trained at the BIF. Results It was judged inappropriately to take an intervention adaptation approach. Following the identification of an intervention programme theory and collaborating with stakeholders in an iterative and collaborative process to identify barriers, six potentially modifiable constructs were identified. These were targeted with a series of behaviour change techniques operationalised as Quranic verses with associated health messages to be used as the basis for Khutbahs. Following iterative user testing, acceptable intervention content was generated. Conclusion The potential of this community-based intervention to reduce SHS exposure at home and improve lung health among non-smokers in Bangladesh is the result of an iterative and collaborative process. It is the result of the integration of behaviour change evidence and theory and community stakeholder contributions to the production of the intervention content. This novel combination of intervention development frameworks demonstrates a flexible approach that could provide insights for intervention development in related contexts.

“…The IMANA Public Health Committee issued a position statement on that topic in 2009, which was published in JIMA. 2 Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in the United States. As early as 1989, the U.S. surgeon general estimated that > 400,000 deaths annually are attributable to smoking.…”

“…It is definitely harmful to oneself and the smoker contacts, especially family members. 2 Muslim scholars have issued many religious edicts declaring that smoking is either ḥarām (forbidden) or at least makrūh (disliked). 2 While great progress has been achieved in the United States, more work needs to be done.…”
