Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' and the efficacy of the different behaviour change techniques that are included. Eight groups will be created that will receive a different version of the intervention, varying in three behaviour change techniques (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring).

AP+CP+M

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive the e- and mHealth intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' with all three behaviour change techniques of interest: action planning (AP), coping planning (CP) and self-monitoring (M). They will also receive general tips and tricks and other behaviour change techniques included in the intervention: tailored feedback and eliciting social support.

They will also receive general tips and tricks and other behaviour change techniques included in the intervention: tailored feedback and eliciting social support.

Behavioral: Action planning; Behavioral: Feedback and tips

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive the e- and mHealth intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' without the three behaviour change techniques of interest (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring). They will receive general tips and tricks and other behaviour change techniques included in the intervention: tailored feedback and eliciting social support.

Behavioral: Feedback and tips

Interventions

Action planning BEHAVIORAL

Action planning is the behaviour change technique used to make users specify their goal (what they are going to do, when, where, ...).

AP; AP+CP; AP+CP+M; AP+M

Coping planning BEHAVIORAL

Coping planning is the behaviour change technique used to make users think about possible hindrances and according solutions when trying to reach their goal.

AP+CP; AP+CP+M; CP; CP+M

Self-monitoring BEHAVIORAL

Self-monitoring is the behaviour change technique used to make users keep track of their goal.

AP+CP+M; AP+M; CP+M; M

Feedback and tips BEHAVIORAL

In this intervention, users receive tailored feedback on their current health behaviour and tips and tricks to reach their goals. This tips and tricks include the behaviour change technique 'eliciting social support'.
