In future administrations of the questionnaire, close attention should be paid to specific terminology, such as systematic reviews, messages, and credible messengers, to ensure a common level of comprehension across countries.
A portion of the radio spectrum was allotted for amateur use at that time; because this portion was only useful over relatively short distances, the need for systematic relay of messages became evident.
Less than a third of respondents provided target audiences with access to a searchable database of brief summaries of articles, reports, syntheses, and/or formal systematic reviews and/or messages that specified possible action (26%).
We recommend three interventions: tailored, targeted messaging, systematic review summaries and educational visits.
The project's core concept was that experts in CNCP management and HTA would travel to each of the health regions in the province to translate the findings of relevant systematic reviews into meaningful messages for clinicians and policy makers.
Conversely, inducing negative mood in people leads to deeper processing of information, more complex processing strategies, lower reliance on cognitive heuristics, and more systematic elaboration of complex messages (Bless, Bohner, Schwarz, & Strack, 1990; Fiedler, 1988; Isen et al., 1982; Sinclair, 1988).
We sought systematic reviews of text messaging interventions in preventive or curative health care.
With additional funding from PHAC, the CSEP commissioned two systematic reviews of specific messaging and behaviour change techniques [ 15, 16].
This approach was used because multiple, up-to-date systematic reviews applicable to message development already were available and some context-specific data had recently been collected.
Three studies of low-to-moderate risk of bias, identified interventions that showed a statistically significant improvement: educational visits, short summaries of systematic reviews and targeted messaging.
