Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| On a weekly basis, participants will be asked to score the degree of compliance with the received advice on a 10 cm unstructured line scale with two anchors on 10% and 90% of the scale (very low and very high). By monitoring the degree of implementation during the intervention period, both trends within individuals and between groups can be observed. Furthermore, the degree of compliance with the advice can be assessed based on dietary intake data as registered in the 'Eetmeter' (an online food diary developed by the 'Dutch nutrition centre'), and the results of the activity tracker. | — |
