Behavior Change Techniques Used in Effective Interventions, Promoting Physical Activity, Healthy Nutrition, and Healthy Body Mass Among Women with Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Survivors: A Meta-Review

This record contains the preprint version of the peer-reviewed article:

Boberska et al. (2025), "Behaviour change techniques used in effective interventions, promoting physical activity, healthy nutrition, and healthy body mass among women with breast cancer and breast cancer survivors: a meta-review" published in Health Psychology Review.

The article examines psychological and behavioural mechanisms underpinning health-related behaviour change, contributing to the understanding of how evidence-based interventions can be designed, implemented, and evaluated in public health and prevention contexts. The findings are particularly relevant for the development of person-centred, theory-driven strategies aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing disease risk across populations.

This preprint is made available on behalf of the MELIORA project, an EU-funded research initiative focused on advancing innovative, evidence-based approaches to primary cancer prevention through behavioural change, digital tools, and personalised interventions. The publication supports MELIORA’s objectives by strengthening the scientific foundations that inform prevention strategies and policy-relevant recommendations.

The preprint is shared to ensure early dissemination and wider visibility of the research in line with open science practices. The final publisher-formatted version of the article is not open access and therefore cannot be deposited. Minor differences may exist between this preprint and the version of record.
