This was the first study to use the TFA framework to assess the acceptability of an app that uses critical situations and solutions ('if-then plans') to help reduce sedentary behaviour for people with psychosis. In this sample (male, English speaking mainly white people), participants understood the benefits of being more active. However, reducing sedentary-behaviour is not the main priority of this population and being sedentary has benefits when their mental-health is bad.
