    limitations
    Mostly graduate students, broad age range, inactive comparator and short follow-up.
    harms And Attrition
    Not systematically extracted beyond findings/limitations; absence of reporting is not evidence of no harm
    lab Relevance
    relationship
    inspired-by
    implication
    A short skills-course format is relevant to academy design, but this is not a direct 16–24-only sample.
    transfer Limit
    Component evidence does not establish efficacy of the combined Universal Mind lab model.
