Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In-depth information on the most important perceived barriers and facilitators of sustained lifestyle (change) (obtained from the interviews and focus groups) and insight into the real-time interrelation and relative importance of observed barriers and facilitators of lifestyle (change) and how these are influenced by contextual factors (e.g. social and physical environment). Eventually, the study endpoint is a co-created toolkit and training program for the promotion of (sustained) lifestyle changes. These will undergo feasibility and pre-efficacy testing, ultimately resulting in a plan for its adoption, implementation, and evaluation.	—
