Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A range of health behavior interventions demonstrate efficacy in controlled settings, but face challenges when it comes to real-world implementation. These challenges arise due to the variation in participant, implementation staff, and implementation organization needs and resources which influence intervention delivery and effectiveness outcomes of these evidence-based interventions. We present potential approaches and considerations to prevent common pitfalls throughout the process of evidence-based intervention adoption, implementation, and sustainment. This includes using program theory, active engagement, cultural considerations, and understanding the connection between strategies, mechanisms, and outcomes right from the beginning to diligently develop, evaluate, implement, and disseminate evidence-based interventions. These approaches will help behavioral medicine/health psychology implementation researchers to get one step closer to the holy grail: To integrate evidence-based interventions sustainably into programs, systems, policy, and environments to facilitate long-term health behavior change and better health.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
