Supplementary Table 4 Examples of behaviour change techniques used in included interventions

Behaviour change technique Example1.1 Goal setting (behaviour) Participants were set a specific goal for reducing their intake of fat based on which foods were identified as

providing the most fat in their diet from a baseline screening questionnaire 13.1.2 Problem solving Participants were provided examples of situations where consuming the recommended serves of fruit may be

challenging, and were asked to problem solve and plan strategies to overcome this 4.1.3 Goal setting (outcome) Participants were instructed to complete a worksheet including constructing goals with the outcome being

healthy eating 8.1.4 Action planning Participants were instructed to write plans of when and where they would consume an extra piece of fruit per

day, for the next two weeks 3.1.9 Commitment Participants set goals around increasing their fruit and vegetable intakes, and were then asked to make a

commitment to work towards these goals 6.2.2 Feedback on behaviour Participants were provided a comparison of reported intakes (fat, fruit and vegetables) with dietary guidelines,

and with peer intakes 9-11.2.3 Self-monitoring of behaviour Participants were provided with a range of templates to facilitate continued planning for consuming fruits and

vegetables, including nutrition calendars and action and coping planning sheets. Participants were encouraged to self-monitor their behaviour and use the templates to update plans and strategies accordingly 27.

3.1 Social support (unspecified) Participants were provided information on gathering social support and developing simple rewards for performing the target behaviour (consuming fruit) 20.

3.3 Social support (emotional) Participants were advised on the importance of seeking emotional support from friends and family if they experience difficulty in sticking to a healthy diet 31.

4.1 Instruction on how to perform the behaviour

Participants were provided information on the main sources of fat, fruit and vegetables in their diet, from self-reported intakes, with suggestions of low fat alternative foods, when and how to include more fruit and vegetables, or how to maintain intakes if recommendations were met 9-11.

4.2 Information about antecedents Participants were instructed that they would be more likely to eat more fruit if they were to plan when and where they would do this, as a pre-emptive statement before being asked to write action plans for increasing their fruit intake 3.

5.1 Information about health consequences

Participants were provided epidemiological data on population fat intakes, and morbidity and mortality from related health conditions 1.

5.2 Salience of consequences Participants were educated on the health risks of poor diet in the format of a soap opera video, in order to make the information more memorable 13.

5.3 Information about social and environmental consequences

Participants were informed of the link between excessive sugar sweetened beverage consumption and obesity, and of the social risks associated with obesity (e.g. negativity from peers) 32.

5.5 Anticipated regret Participants read health messages designed to prompt regret for not consuming breakfast by reinforcing breakfast consumption as an easy task and providing a list of negative consequences of skipping breakfast 26.

5.6 Information about emotional consequences

Participants were informed, through the use of persuasive messages, that failing to achieve the target behaviour (daily consumption of breakfast) would make them more likely to be moody and stressed 26.

6.1 Demonstration of the behaviour Participants watched a soap opera video focused on health risks of a poor diet, and including modelling of healthy dietary behaviours 13.

6.2 Social comparison Participants were provided a comparison of their reported fat intakes with that of age and sex matched peers.28

6.3 Information about others’ approval Participants read health messages focusing on injunctive norms, indicating that peer expectations were to consume the recommended serves/day of fruit and vegetables 39.

7.1 Prompts/cues Participants were provided with examples of cues to facilitate behaviour change e.g. increasing availability of fruit in the home by placing a filled fruit bowl in a common area 20.

8.1 Behavioural practice/rehearsal Participants first identified barriers to achieving a target behaviour (e.g. consuming fruit), and were then instructed to plan strategies to overcome these barriers as a self-regulation technique. During the face-to-face consult participants were also instructed to practice applying this technique several times in relation to different barriers 42.

8.2 Behaviour substitution Participants were provided information on the main sources of fat, fruit and vegetables in their diet, from self-reported intakes, with suggestions of low fat alternative foods 10.

8.3 Habit formation Participants were prompted to start consuming the recommended serves of fruits and vegetables and to repeat this behaviour each day, using persuasive messages and through writing action plans to achieve this 25.

8.6 Generalisation of target behaviour Participants were asked to recall a situation where they had chosen a healthy food over an unhealthy food in the past and to then plan how they would repeat this behaviour in future situations, with the healthy food choice to be fruit and vegetables 31.

9.1 Credible source Participants attended a nutrition education lecture presented by a college lecturer 27.9.2 Pros and cons Participants were instructed to set dietary goals, and to write down positive and negative consequences of

performing the behaviour 30.9.3 Comparative imagining of future outcomes

Participants completed screening questions regarding their ideal self-image, and were then advised verbally and visually in a one-on-one consultation how health risk vs health promoting behaviours, including diet, would impact them in achieving this self-image 44.

10.9 Self-reward Participants were encouraged to plan simple rewards for performing the target behaviour (fruit intake) 20.11.2 Reduce negative emotions Participants were first instructed to plan the when, where and how of consuming the recommended serves of

fruits and vegetables, and afterwards to anticipate possible barriers to carrying out these plans, as well as strategies to cope with barriers if they arose (to reduce the negative emotions around these barriers) 27.

12.2 Restructuring the social environment

Participants were advised on ways to deal with certain social situations where performing the target behaviours (e.g. low fat diet) may be difficult (e.g. eating out) 10,11.

12.3 Avoidance/reducing exposure to cues for the behaviour

Participants were advised on ways to deal with certain social situations where performing the target behaviours (e.g. low fat diet) may be difficult (e.g. eating out) 10,11.

12.5 Adding objects to the environment Participants received a fridge magnet shopping list in the mailed packet with the other intervention materials 22.13.1 Identification of self as role model Participants were provided information on the effect of role modelling for children/ partners, and encouraged to

be a role model for performing the desired behaviour (increasing fruit intake) 20.13.3 Incompatible beliefs Participants first completed screening questions including self-rating their fat intake as being above or below

dietary recommendations. Participants were then made aware of any discrepancy in their self-rated compared with actual fat intake in the tailored feedback messages that followed 10.

13.4 Valued self-identify Participants were first instructed to generate phrases to describe themselves as ‘doers’ of a particular desired behaviour (relevant to their healthy eating goals), then to rate where they currently were in relation to being a ‘doer’ on a scale of 1-5, and to think about what they need to do to move up on this scale 8.

13.5 Identity associated with changed behaviour

Participants completed screening questions relating to their health behaviours and ideal self-image, followed by a one-on-one consultation where participants set goals as a way to achieve this new self-image 44.

15.1 Verbal persuasion about capability Participants listened to a video message telling them that they are able to eat the recommended serves of fruits and vegetables as they would have managed this in the past, all that’s required is will and organisation, and they will feel a sense of pride if they achieve this target 23.

15.2 Mental rehearsal of successful performance

Participants were instructed to picture themselves as a ‘doer’ of the target behaviour (e.g. a fruit eater) in future contexts 8.

15.3 Focus on past success Participants were asked to recall a situation where they had consciously made the decision to consume a healthy food/drink option instead of a less healthy choice, and to recall the positive emotions associated with this, as a means to encourage repetition of the behaviour 31.

15.4 Self-talk Participants were instructed to generate phrases to describe themselves as ‘doers’ of a particular desired behaviour (relevant to their healthy eating goals) and to think about these phrases in future contexts to facilitate performance of the behaviour 8.

16.3 Vicarious consequences Participants watched a soap opera video focused on healthy dietary behaviours, the plot centred around modelling of the behaviour by the main character and the positive social and health consequences of this behaviour 14.
