Every Child on the Map: A Theory of Change Framework for Improving Childhood Immunization Coverage and Equity Using Geospatial Data and Technologies

Every Child on the Map: A Theory of Change Framework for Improving Childhood Immunization Coverage and Equity Using Geospatial Data and Technologies

A theory of change is a process and framework to help describe this causal pathway and to support critical thinking throughout the project design, implementation, and evaluation cycle [11]. A theory of change for the use of geospatial technologies for immunization programming describes the potential for geospatial technologies to contribute to real-world impacts by optimizing routine immunization program design, implementation, and monitoring to reach all children with immunization services (Figure 1).

Cancer-Related Fatigue in Post-Treatment Cancer Survivors: Theory-Based Development of a Web-Based Intervention

Cancer-Related Fatigue in Post-Treatment Cancer Survivors: Theory-Based Development of a Web-Based Intervention

This paper describes the development of a theory-based, interactive Web-based intervention designed to facilitate self-management and enhance coping with Cr F following cancer treatment [14]. There has been an increase in the development of e Health interventions; however, these are often are not clearly described in sufficient detail to allow for replication [15,16]. Furthermore, many of these interventions are frequently not based explicitly on a particular theory or therapy [17,18].

Chatbots to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health: Realist Synthesis

Chatbots to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health: Realist Synthesis

An example of a theory that is implicit in many chatbot interventions may be, “users value the anonymity offered by chatbots.” These theories set out how and why the designers anticipate their intervention will work. In a realist review, this understanding is captured via an initial program theory that summarizes these assumptions. The assumptions are then tested to understand the evidence that underpins the theory and to develop and modify it in response.

A Digital Lifestyle Coach (E-Supporter 1.0) to Support People With Type 2 Diabetes: Participatory Development Study

A Digital Lifestyle Coach (E-Supporter 1.0) to Support People With Type 2 Diabetes: Participatory Development Study

Using theory helps us to identify behavioral determinants of behavior that are relevant to the target by means of an intervention to effectively change behavior. Besides, it enables us to determine which behavior change techniques (BCTs) are most likely to bring about change [58,59]. Including behavior change theory is key as interventions have shown to be more effective when they are theory based [46,60-63].

Investigating Microtemporal Processes Underlying Health Behavior Adoption and Maintenance: Protocol for an Intensive Longitudinal Observational Study

Investigating Microtemporal Processes Underlying Health Behavior Adoption and Maintenance: Protocol for an Intensive Longitudinal Observational Study

The application of methods and tools for collecting and analyzing intensive longitudinal data (ILD) may enable better research on factors influencing reflective and reactive processes, and thus support new theory and intervention development. ILD are collected from real-world settings in temporally dense micro time scales (eg, seconds, minutes, hours). Improved miniaturization, capability, affordability, and pervasiveness of mobile and wearable devices in recent years have enabled the capture of ILD.

Navigating the Cancer Journey Using Web-Based Information: Grounded Theory Emerging From the Lived Experience of Cancer Patients and Informal Caregivers With Implications for Web-Based Content Design

In addition, theory can evolve over time, being revised as newly discovered scientific findings emerge to better reflect the phenomena in question [34,35]. Finally, theory provides common conceptual ground, promoting collaboration among researchers and institutions and across disciplines [36].

Development of a Theory-Based, Culturally Appropriate Message Library for Use in Interventions to Promote COVID-19 Vaccination Among African Americans: Formative Research

Development of a Theory-Based, Culturally Appropriate Message Library for Use in Interventions to Promote COVID-19 Vaccination Among African Americans: Formative Research

Developing culturally appropriate, theory-based messages that can be used in communication and behavioral interventions may address concerns about COVID-19 vaccination among African Americans. Because social marketing campaigns have been effective in changing knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and behavior at the community level [33-35], they can disseminate theory-based, culturally appropriate messages and potentially increase COVID-19 vaccination acceptability and uptake.

A Clinician-Led, Experience-Based Co-Design Approach for Developing mHealth Services to Support the Patient Self-management of Chronic Conditions: Development Study and Design Case

In phase 3, the selected theory was implemented in the prototype m Health design and development using the intervention mapping approach, that is, using theory and the corresponding constructs to propose the relevant functions of the m Health service, which is widely used for the development of theory-based health promotion programs [60]. In phase 4, a focus group discussion was conducted with patients.

Evaluation of Diet-Related Infographics on Pinterest for Use of Behavior Change Theories: A Content Analysis

In particular, it is of interest whether they contain constructs of health behavior theory (HBT), as health promotion materials containing more elements of HBT have been demonstrated to be more effective in changing behavior [30-32]. Specifically, constructs from social cognitive theory [33-35] and health belief model [36-38] have been related to improved dietary practices. Moreover, it may be that approaches to changing dietary practices should incorporate both theories simultaneously [39].
