The aims of the BCT Taxonomy Version 1 (BCTTv1) project were to (i) develop a reliable and generalisable nomenclature of behaviour change techniques as a method for specifying, evaluating and implementing complex behavioural change interventions and (ii) achieve its multidisciplinary and international acceptance and use to allow for its continuous development.
