Dear colleagues,

We are conducting a meta-analysis to investigate whether cue-reminders increase the effectiveness of health-promoting interventions. If you have any unpublished studies related to cue-reminder effectiveness in relation to healthy lifestyle promotion, we would be grateful to receive your work. Also, please contact us if you know of other researchers who performed relevant but (yet) unpublished studies in this field. Below, please find some more detailed information on cue-reminders. 

A cue-reminder is an intervention component that is provided to individuals into daily and potentially high-risk situations after having received a health-promoting intervention. Cue-reminders are aimed at reminding intervention recipients (sub)consciously of the intervention, thereby reactivating what was learned. As such, the intervention infiltrates into daily and potentially high-risk situations through which relapse may be prevented. An example of a cue-reminder is a bracelet recipients can wear to remind them of healthy lifestyles behaviors.

Our meta-analysis focuses on cue-reminders in combination with interventions that promote healthy lifestyles, that is, safe sex behavior, eating behavior, physical exercise, and substance use.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
