Item 1: mentioned theory; item 2: mentioned a target construct as the predictor of behaviour; item 3: developed interventions based on a single theory; item 4: screened or selected recipients based on the score or level on a theory-relevant construct/predictor; item 5: used theory to choose or develop intervention techniques; item 6: used theory/predictors to tailor intervention techniques to different recipients; item 7: associated all intervention techniques with at least one theory-relevant construct/predictor; item 8: associated at least one intervention technique with at least one theory-relevant construct/predictor; item 9: linked a cluster of techniques to a cluster of theory-relevant constructs/predictors; item 10: associated all theory-relevant construct/predictors with at least one intervention technique; item 11: associated at least one theoretical construct/predictor with at least one intervention technique; item 12: assessed theory-relevant constructs/predictors; item 13: adopted quality measures; item 14: randomised participants; item 15: identified significant changes in theory-relevant constructs/predictors; item 17: discussed results based on the underpinning theory. Items 16, 18 and 19 were not applied in any study.
