  1. aMerged matrix combing Cane et al. [19] and Michie et al. [6] TDF x BCT linking matrices
  2. bDomain ranking based on thematic analysis of barrier/facilitator literature (see Table 2)
  3. cClassification of theoretical congruence: Low: BCT is not paired with any of the 6 key domains identified as important in the thematic analysis; Medium: BCT is paired with at least one domain identified as important; High: BCT is paired with two or more domains identified as important
