A CROSS flow diagram [13] of survey respondents initially identified as having unpublished preliminary behavioral interventions. ^aEligible respondents were those identified as having presented a preliminary behavioral intervention at the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) or International Society for Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA), but which had not been identified as having full-length, peer-reviewed articles. ^bEmail addresses for authors were not provided in ISBNPA records. ^cOpen-ended comments were those provided in free-text or to open-ended questions in the survey. Answering these questions was optional and not required to complete the survey. A list of the 11 responses is provided in Additional file 2: Appendix 2. ^dConsistent with prior research, paired preliminary studies were defined as full-length original research articles in peer-reviewed journals. They also were required to report identical intervention components including duration, location, and target population and could not vary on reported sample size by greater than ± 5 participants
