What it means

A "Behavioral" intervention is an activity or approach — counselling, a support programme, an exercise plan, education, a digital coaching tool — rather than a medicine or device.

Why it matters if you take part

These studies usually ask for time and participation over weeks or months. Comparisons are often against usual care or a waiting list.
