 This paper focuses on Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs) aimed at improving health, by changing behaviors that are mediating factors for chronic diseases. This restriction in scope is necessary for two reasons: First, to avoid the hurdles introduced by the different lexicons used across disciplines or domains. Second, because there is as yet no common understanding of what BCTs cause what behavior changes, and by what mechanisms.
