TL;DR: To assess the impact of interventions promoting the monitoring of medication use and brief messaging to support medication adherence in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to investigate the extent of theory use to guide intervention development.

TL;DR: The SCMO analysis suggested that tailored interactive workshops supported by goal-focused mentoring, and genuine collaboration, seem particularly promising, as well as some enduring contextual characteristics that all interventions should consider.

TL;DR: DP was not considered to be a helpful strategy for managing patients with self-limiting respiratory tract infections within primary care and the findings do not support the centrality of DP in NICE guidelines as a primary means of reducing antibiotic prescribing.

TL;DR: Citizen science engages members of the public in research design, data collection, and analysis, in asking and answering questions about the world around them as discussed by the authors. But to date, population health science has not relied heavily on citizen contributions, and there is additional potential to mainstream population health through wider, less intensive opportunities to be involved in our science.

TL;DR: Using the Theoretical Domains Framework to identify the factors that influence nurse and pharmacist prescribers management of respiratory tract infections and identify the behaviour change techniques that can be used as the basis for the development of a theoretically informed intervention to support appropriate prescribing behaviour are used.
