Measuring processes of change in behavioural interventions: Insights gained from linking mechanisms of action to associated measures
The refined measure-MoA links provide more precise guidance for researchers when designing and/or selecting measures to assess the role of MoAs in theory-based behavioural interventions. Future research should further explore measure-MoA links by, for example, testing the discriminant content validity of ostensibly distinct measures that tap into the same or similar MoAs.
