Competing Interests

The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Hein de Vries is scientific director of Vision2Health, a company that licenses evidence-based computer-tailored health communication tools. Vision2Health did not provide any support in the form of salaries for Hein de Vries or other authors and did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the “author contributions” section. This does not alter the authors' adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
