Abstract
There is considerable public policy interest in choice architecture, an approach that involves altering features of physical or social environments to change behaviour. To date there has been no systematic attempt to clarify the concept and definition or describe the evidence base for such interventions. We conducted a systematic scoping review of empirical evidence, and related conceptual material, to identify the effects of choice architecture interventions in micro-environments on diet-, physical activity-, alcohol- and tobacco-related behaviours.
