An Analysis of Behaviour Change Techniques Used in a Sample of Gestational Weight Management Trials by H. Soltani, M. A. Arden, A. M. S. Duxbury, F. J. Fair

“…Poor reporting within studies in defining the BCTs used, in clarifying the differences in processes between intervention and control groups, and in differentiating between the intervention and research processes made BCT classification difficult. Future studies should elaborate more clearly on the behaviour change techniques used and report them accurately to allow a better understanding of the effective ingredients for lifestyle interventions during pregnancy.…”
