The selection criteria was jointly decided and agreed by the two reviewers based on the study objective. This research is limited to studies that used intervention mapping in disease-specific prevention interventions, as shown in Table 2 .
The PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews was followed to allow for systematic reporting. The PRISMA checklist is shown as File A inS1 Supporting Information .[9 (link)] Search for published literature was conducted in three main electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science. It was initially designed using MEDLINE on 8th August 2014 and then adapted to the other databases on the same date using their specific terms. This allowed for testing of precision and sensitivity. The Campbell Collaboration and the Cochrane Library were also searched for any available and/or on-going systematic reviews on the topic. Search for grey literature (mainly unpublished research) was carried out on the following databases: OpenGrey and NYAM Grey Literature Report.
A very broad search was initially conducted, which aimed at identifying all intervention mapping studies on health promotion and disease prevention programmes. The titles and abstracts of all the identified studies were read to select those that used intervention mapping in disease-specific prevention interventions. After going through series of modifications, two main search categories were identified; “intervention mapping” related and “disease prevention” related. This gave the broadest search that captured all the relevant studies. The choice of disease prevention related terms was guided by a listing of areas of health promotion that intervention mapping has been applied, as stated on the intervention mapping website.[10 ] However, this underwent a series of iterative process leading to modifications as recommended in the PRISMA guidelines.[11 ] The Boolean operators AND/OR and truncation were used to link words and to identify all the possible endings of the search terms respectively as shown below:
Intervention mapping AND (HIV OR human immunodeficiency virus OR AIDS OR acquired immune deficiency syndrome OR hepatitis B virus OR HBV OR human papilloma virus OR HPV OR chlamydia OR influenza OR infect* OR injur* OR breast cancer OR cervical cancer OR prostate cancer OR colon cancer OR cancer OR drug* OR sex* OR smoking OR cigarette OR alcohol OR drinking OR binge OR wine OR bear OR behavi#r OR physical activity OR exercise OR sedentary OR inactivity OR psychiatr* OR psycholog* OR mental OR fruit OR vegetable OR diet OR nutrition* OR eat* OR feed* OR low calorie* OR low energy OR low fat OR low salt OR obes* OR weight gain OR overweight OR worker* OR student* OR depress* OR dementia OR stress OR chronic disease OR diabetes OR hypertension OR vaccin* OR stroke OR disabilit* OR asthma OR gynecolog* OR health promotion OR health education OR prevention OR ehealth OR family-based OR family OR school-based OR school OR web-based OR workplace OR work related).
Both indexed and free-text terms for intervention mapping were searched for. Details of the search strategy are attached as File B inS1 Supporting Information .
