    abstract = {When developing an intervention aimed at behaviour
      change, one of the crucial steps in the development process is to
      select the most relevant social-cognitive determinants. These
      determinants can be seen as the buttons one needs to push in
      order to establish behaviour change. Insight into these
      determinants is needed to select behaviour change methods (i.e.,
      general behaviour change techniques that are applied in an
      intervention) in the development process. Therefore, a study on
      determinants is often conducted as formative research in the
      intervention development process. Ideally, all relevant
      determinants identified in such a study are addressed by an
      intervention. However, when developing a behaviour change
      intervention, there are limits in terms of, for example,
      resources available for intervention development and the amount
      of content that participants of an intervention can be exposed
      to. Hence, it is important to select those determinants that are
      most relevant to the target behaviour as these determinants
      should be addressed in an intervention. The aim of the current
      paper is to introduce a novel approach to select the most
      relevant social-cognitive determinants and use them in
      intervention development. This approach is based on visualization
      of confidence intervals for the means and correlation
      coefficients for all determinants simultaneously. This
      visualization facilitates comparison, which is necessary when
      making selections. By means of a case study on the determinants
      of using a high dose of MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine,
      commonly known as ecstasy), we illustrate this approach. We
      provide a freely available tool to facilitate the analyses needed
      in this approach.},
