Exploring the Use of the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy and the Persuasive System Design Model in Defining Parent-Focused eHealth Interventions: Scoping Review.

Background: Taxonomies and models are useful tools for defining eHealth content and intervention features, enabling comparison and analysis of research across studies and disciplines. The Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy version 1 (BCTTv1) was developed to decrease ambiguity in defining specific characteristics inherent in health interventions, but it was developed outside the context of digital technology. In contrast, the Persuasive System Design Model (PSDM) was developed to define and evaluate the persuasive content in software solutions but did not have a specific focus on health.

Documented incontinence after stroke: a secondary analysis of a cohort study. Reducing Ethnic and Geographic Inequities to Optimise New Zealand Stroke Care (REGIONS Care).

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of incontinence after stroke in Aotearoa New Zealand overall and by ethnicity, the associations between incontinence and subsequent mortality and living in residential care, and to estimate the health utilities in relation to continence.

Method: Secondary analysis of data from a prospective (1 May to 31 July 2018) cohort study (REGIONS Care study) of patients with a confirmed stroke admitted to New Zealand hospitals. Logistic and linear regression were used, and multivariate models were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, and stroke severity.
