Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Feedback Intervention
All participants will complete an online questionnaire. This will include demographic information, social distancing/isolation history, The Lubben Social Network Scale, The 6-item Loneliness Scale, Ten-Item Personality Scale, Spontaneous Self-affirmation Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the WHOQoL COMBI plus importance of QOL facet questions.
Participants randomly allocated to the feedback intervention will then be provided with graphs showing WHOQOL COMBI facet scores and their perceived importance ratings. The graphs will highlight where quality of life might be poor but important to the participant. Participants will be asked three questions (i.e. how could your QoL in this domain be improved, what resources would you need to make this change, what practical actions are needed to address the discrepancies in your QoL?) to help them plan how they might be able to improve quality of life currently rated as poor but important.
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.
Extended Intervention
All participants will complete an online questionnaire (as described above).
Participants randomly allocated to the extended intervention will then be provided with graphs to highlight differences between their actual WHOQoL COMBI scores and their perceived importance ratings. The graphs will highlight where quality of life might be poor but important to the participant. Participants will be asked three questions (i.e. how could your QoL in this domain be improved, what resources would you need to make this change, what practical actions are needed to address the discrepancies in your QoL?) to help them plan how they might be able to improve quality of life currently rated as poor but important.
Participants will then receive an online intervention that will provide them with behaviour change techniques to help them address the discrepancies in the relevant quality of life domains.

Waitlist Control
All participants will complete an online questionnaire. This will include demographic information, social distancing/isolation history, The Lubben Social Network Scale, The 6-item Loneliness Scale, Ten-Item Personality Scale, Spontaneous Self-affirmation Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the WHOQoL COMBI plus importance of QOL facet questions.
Participants randomly allocated to the waitlist control group will then receive their WHOQoL COMBI scores only, with no information about differences between quality of life and importance or intervention materials.
