  1. Note: PRECIS: Pragmatic Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary. RE-AIM: Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance Framework. POWER Trials = Practice-Based Opportunities for Weight Reduction Trials Collaborative Research Group; eHealth Reviews = Systematic Review of eHealth Cancer Prevention and Control Interventions; MOHR = My Own Health Report. To make ratings comparable, the ratings were converted so that for all studies, scoring continuum: 1 = Explanatory, 5 = Pragmatic.
