Main Results:

The proposed model covers intervention theory, design, formative process, efficacy (process and outcome), and contextual issues.
It includes evaluability assessment, reporting, and stakeholder considerations.
The model is illustrated using electroencephalographic biofeedback for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Conclusions:

The proposed comprehensive model provides a framework for evaluating digital multimedia interventions.
It is expected to aid researchers in planning and conducting robust evaluations.
The model offers a checklist and flowchart for practical application.
