Engagement with health interventions is a precondition for effectiveness.
“Engagement with health interventions is a precondition for effectiveness; this is a particular concern for digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs), i.e., interventions that employ digital technologies such as the internet, telephones and mobile and environmental sensors. 1”

Heterogeneity in the design and implementation of BCTs has been a considerable challenge.
“Heterogeneity in the design and implementation of BCTs has been a considerable challenge and efforts have been made to standardize the methods to create these tools103.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
