The LifeGuide software was designed to enable behavioural researchers to develop and adapt Internet-based behavioural interventions themselves. This article reports a qualitative case study of users\u2019 experiences and perceptions of the LifeGuide software. The aim was to explore users\u2019 experiences and their perceptions of the benefits and limitations of this approach to intervention development. Twenty LifeGuide users took part in semi-structured interviews and one provided feedback via email. Thematic analysis identified three overarching themes: \u2018Recognising LifeGuide\u2019s potential\u2019, \u2018I\u2019m not a programmer\u2019 and \u2018Knowledge sharing \u2013 the future of LifeGuide\u2019. Users valued LifeGuide\u2019s potential to allow them to flexibly develop and modify interventions at little cost. However, users noted that their lack of programming experience meant that they needed to learn new skills for using the software, and they varied in the extent to which they felt able to develop interventions without any input from programmers. Respondents saw the potential of using the LifeGuide Community Website to share technical support and examples of intervention components to support their use of LifeGuide.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1460458212458915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,13]],"date-time":"2013-03-13T03:38:25Z","timestamp":1363145905000},"page":"61-75","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A qualitative case study of LifeGuide: Users\u2019 experiences of software for developing Internet-based behaviour change interventions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Williams","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bournemouth University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucy","family":"Yardley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary B","family":"Wills","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southampton, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.8.2.e10"},{"key":"bibr2-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/S0738-3991(98)00127-X","volume":"36","author":"De Vries H","year":"1999","journal-title":"Patient Educ Couns"},{"key":"bibr3-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.1376"},{"key":"bibr4-1460458212458915","first-page":"50","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 5th IEEE international conference on e-science","author":"Yang Y"},{"key":"bibr5-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.intcom.2010.02.006"},{"key":"bibr6-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0747-5632(02)00062-6"},{"key":"bibr7-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.931"},{"key":"bibr8-1460458212458915","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7551\/mitpress\/1020.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr9-1460458212458915","volume-title":"Multiplatform e-learning systems and technologies: mobile devices for ubiquitous ICT-based education","author":"Milliard D","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr10-1460458212458915","unstructured":"JISC.
