• Design
• Document study design. Include description of efficacy versus effectiveness trial, randomized controlled trial versus non-randomized controlled trial.
• Code the following: RCT-randomized controlled trial; QE-Quasi-experimental design with a control condition; PP-Pre-post only design; OEC- Other experimentally controlled design (e.g. multiple baseline); UC-uncontrolled study
• Measures/Results
• Behavioral outcomes
  • Reported (Yes/No)
  • Objective vs. self-report (circle one)
  • Note validity and reliability data
  • Indicate effect size
  • Provide p value
• Physiological or biomedical outcome
  • Reported (Yes/No)
  • Note validity and reliability data
  • Indicate effect size
  • Provide p value
• Intention to treat versus present at follow-up
• Intention to treat analyses includes all participants who initiated participation in the study when computing effect size.
• Present at follow-up analyses includes only participants who completed the study and were present for follow-up analysis.

  • Reported (Yes/No)
  • Indicate effect size
• Effects at longest time point—refers to the changes in behavior at the end of intervention contact.
• Report duration of time (e.g., 3 months)
• Attrition
• Reported (Yes/No)
• Rate = # lost to attrition/# Study Participants
• Comparison of characteristics of those lost to attrition and those who were not.

MAINTENANCE (Setting & Individual Level)

Communication — process in which participants create and share information with one another in order to reach a mutual understanding (Rogers, 1995).

Diffusion — the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system (Rogers, 1995).

Communication Channel — the means by which messages get from one individual to another: Mass media channels, interpersonal channels (Rogers, 1995).

Innovation — an idea, practice, or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit of adoption (Rogers, 1995).

Technology — a design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationships involved in achieving a desired outcome (Rogers, 1995). A technology has two components: (1) a hardware aspect, consisting of the tool that embodies the technology as a material or physical object, and (2) a software aspect, consisting of the information base for the tool.

Behavior Setting — the setting is a physical and social environment or place where behavior occurs.

Ecological Environment — the ecological environment is conceived as a set of nested structures, each inside each other like a set of Russian dolls (Brofenbrenner, 1977; Lewin, 1917, 1931, 1935). The microsystem represents a pattern of social interaction in a given face-to-face setting with particular physical, social and symbolic features that invite, permit, or inhibit engagement in sustained, progressively more complex interaction with, and activity in, the immediate environment. Examples include domains such as family, school, peer group, and work place. The linkage of two or more Microsystems or places containing the developing person is defined as the mesosystem. The linkage of two or more settings, where at least one does not contain the developing system, is referred to as the exosystem. Macrosystems refer to the overarching pattern of micro-, meso-, and exosystem characteristics.
