Population, Interventions, Comparison, Outcome and Study setting (PICOS) framework for determination of the eligibility of the review questions
| Criteria | Determinants |
|---|---|
| Population | The population for this study will be healthy adults, workers, well individuals. Patients, children, students, adolescents (youth will be excluded from this study) |
| Interventions | Health-promoting lifestyle profile (nutrition, physical activity, interpersonal relationship, health responsibility, stress management, self-actualisation) and information and communication technologies (ICT, mobile phone, text messages, SMS, internet, etc) |
| Comparison | Health-promoting lifestyle profile intervention without ICT |
| Outcomes | Effective and sustaining health-promoting lifestyle practices and health status (normal weight, normal blood pressure, normal blood sugar and good mental and physical health) |
| Study setting | Nigeria and developing countries are the focus. Owing to the scarcity of literature on health-promoting lifestyle profile intervention and ICT, we proposed not to limit the scope of this review by study setting. The rationale for this is to have a good number of publications globally for comparison |
