Summary
The response to COVID-19 means social isolation/distancing for the majority of the UK. This has the potential to negatively affect all domains of quality of life (QoL). QoL can be improved by giving feedback on gaps between someone's perceived QoL in a domain and how important it is to them (plus prompting reflective questions). However, interventions that are designed to improve QoL may increase the effectiveness of this as optimised behaviour change techniques can be used. This study aims to develop and test a quality of life intervention during social isolation/distancing.

| BEHAVIORAL | Behaviour Change Technique Intervention to Improve Quality of Life | The intervention targets each facet of the five domains of WHOQOL COMBI. The intervention is based on the COM-B Framework (Michie et al., 2012) and utilises behaviour change techniques to help participants change their behaviour to improve their quality of life. The intervention will be compared to an active comparator 'feedback intervention' and a waitlist control group. |
