Abstract

This chapter discusses the first phase of behavioral intervention research, planning to address and analyzing a problem. We discuss the numerous ways problems can be identified and the role stakeholders play in the process. Three types of literature reviews are outlined as a foundation for researching a problem and understanding what has and has not been successful in trying to solve it. We provide step-by-step guidance on conducting narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses as well as templates to develop review protocols, extract information from selected articles, and rate the research quality of each article.
