Compendium of dyadic behavior change techniques v2.0: results from a Delphi study.
Article in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDyadic interventions involving a close other (eg, romantic partner) have gained increased awareness and shown initial promise, but a shared language and systematic approach to describing their intervention content (ie, dyadic behavior change techniques [DBCTs]) is lacking. PURPOSE: This study aimed to further develop a comprehensive and expert-validated Compendium of DBCTs focused on health behavior change in romantic couples to support intervention development and facilitate intervention reporting.
methodsA 2-round Delphi process with international experts (1: N = 20; 2: N = 19) was conducted. Experts rated the clarity and comprehensibility of DBCTs, as well as their expected link with the most proximal mechanisms of action. Additionally, 14 experts convened for an online discussion via video conferencing to address key issues and emerging questions.
resultsThe resulting Compendium of DBCTs v2.0 includes 219 DBCTs that specify who (ie, execution) does what (ie, intervention task) for whom (ie, target). DBCTs are linked to 32 hypothesized most proximal mechanisms of action. An interactive Webtool (www.dbctcompendium.com) was created to facilitate access to and use of the Compendium.
conclusionsThe Compendium of DBCTs v2.0 offers a classification of DBCTs validated through expert consensus. It supports systematic development and reporting of dyadic interventions aimed at health behavior change in couples by specifying hypothesized links with underlying mechanisms of action. Future research should focus on identifying the effectiveness of DBCTs under various conditions and the Compendium's applicability to other dyad types and behavioral domains.
