DESIGN: Following Medical Research Council guidance, a theory, evidence, and person-based approach was employed, drawing on existing evidence, stakeholder expertise, health psychology theory, and qualitative methods to underpin intervention content, structure and functionality. METHODS: Systematic reviews of literature concerning acne help-seeking and treatment adherence, theoretical understandings of health-related behaviour, guidance from public contributors, and interviews with young people with acne (n = 24), their parents/carers (n = 8) and healthcare professionals (n = 18), informed the intervention's guiding principles and logic model. Draft intervention content was then developed by a multidisciplinary study team including public contributors and health professionals, and optimized through 53 think-aloud interviews with intended users. RESULTS: The development process created Acne Care Online ready for trial evaluation. It also provided insights into self-management challenges amongst this group - including their reluctance to consult, and misconceptions about treatments that hinder effective management (e.g., using products with no active ingredients, concerns about side effects, and unrealistic expectations).
