The phrase "aim characteristics" is not standard in written English and may cause confusion.
It could be used in contexts discussing the specific traits or features of a goal or objective, but it is not commonly recognized.
Example: "The aim characteristics of this project include clarity, feasibility, and relevance to our target audience."
Alternatives: "goal attributes" or "objective features".
Each study was summarised and described with regard to characteristics of participants, aim, characteristics of interventions and key results.
The SNP AIM characteristics with assigned rs numbers, allele frequencies in each ethnic group, delta value, and map positions are all posted on our website.
A standardised form for data extraction was created for study aim, characteristics, participants, intervention type, outcome measures and main findings (table 1).
Each study was summarised and described with regard to characteristics of participants, aim, characteristics of interventions and key outcome results, and this was checked by another reviewer (SD).
An invitation letter was then sent to the parents of the selected children, explaining the aim, characteristics, importance and methods of the study and asking for permission for their child's participation.
A letter of invitation was then sent to the children/adolescents and their parents, explaining the aim, characteristics, importance and methods of the study and asking for their participation.
Gathering information on the RE-AIM characteristics also posed particular problems.
In particular, information regarding the RE-AIM characteristics of interventions was often lacking, which has also been noted for interventions with a scientific background [ 18].
Although such interventions will presumably have less information available on the RE-AIM characteristics, the information that is available has not been systematically evaluated to date, and such interventions are not likely to be included in reviews of 'what works'.
We then collected detailed information regarding the selected interventions, using an extensive questionnaire (see Additional file 1) to gather general information and information on the intervention's RE-AIM characteristics.
A separate work package within SPOTLIGHT therefore aimed to provide an overview of the general characteristics and RE-AIM characteristics of ongoing multi-level interventions in Europe, which target overweight/obesity through changes in nutrition, sedentary and physical activity behaviours among (subgroups) of adults in a community [ 15].
