    appraisal took place using checklist points from more than one checklist, such as for the mixed methods research papers. Each study was also appraised in relation to whether the intervention has been theoretically informed as recommended in the Medical Research Council (MRC) guidelines on developing and evaluating complex interventions (Craig et al., 2008). The “Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) Checklist” was also used during the appraisal process to determine whether there was sufficient information provided by each author to allow for a true evaluation of effectiveness and the ability to replicate. Particular interest was taken in considering adherence and fidelity of the interventions, and any omissions were noted as exceptions to quality. (Hoffmann et al., 2014). A brief quality appraisal, including exceptions to quality, reported validity of outcome measures and theoretical underpinning of interventions can be found in Table 1.
