  1. aConsistency is determined by dividing the number of studies in the outcome set that are covered by the configuration by the number of studies covered by the configuration. Consistency can range from 0 to 100 %. A consistency of 100 % indicates that all studies covered by the configuration are also in the outcome set (i.e., had improved adherence)
  2. bTotal coverage is determined by dividing the number of studies covered by any sufficient configuration in the solution by the number of studies demonstrating improved adherence. Unique coverage is determined by dividing the number of studies that are only covered by one of the sufficient configurations by the total number of studies demonstrating improved adherence. Total and unique coverage can range from 0 to 100 %. Overlapping coverage is the difference between total and unique coverage
  3. cStudies with the outcome that are not covered by a configuration (i.e., unexplained cases) are studies that were located in contradictory rows. In this study, we identified four contradictory rows where some studies covered by the configuration demonstrated improved medication adherence, and others studies covered by the same configuration did not demonstrate improvements in adherence. The studies listed here are those that were associated with improved adherence in those rows
  4. dAn uppercase letter in the configuration indicates the BCT was used as part of the study intervention; a lowercase letter indicates that the BCT was not used as part of the study intervention. BCTs not listed with either an uppercase or lowercase letter in a configuration were eliminated during the process of logical minimization
  5. eStudy is uniquely covered by the indicated configuration
