Comment
▲
This is optional explanatory text, elaborating on the definition and explaining how the entity should be used
Where an "advise to seek support BCT" is used together with an "arrange support BCT," this constitutes connecting to social support as used in social prescribing. Attending a group class and/or mention of ‘follow-up’ does not necessarily apply this BCT, support must be explicitly mentioned
Fuzzy set
▲
This indicates whether the entity has fuzzy boundaries e.g. adolescence. In that case users of the term must precisely specify the operationalisation of the class in each usage.
