Intervention effectiveness of health behaviors during COVID-19: A network meta-analysis

Abstract

During a global public health event, i.e., COVID-19, interventions to improve the health behavior of the population have become the focus of health management strategies. The effects of various interventions during this period vary, and the effects of different variables on the intervention effects are not yet clear. This article screened 58 papers (n = 47264) through searching electronic databases, and revealed the optimal intervention through PMA and NMA, as well as the changes in intervention effectiveness under different conditions. Accordingly, future research should focus on the in-depth exploration of specific interventions to establish and improve the effectiveness of interventions.
