Manicavasagar V, Horswood D, Burckhardt R, Lum A, Hadzi-Pavlovic D, Parker G. · Journal of medical Internet research · 2014 · Randomized controlled trial report · double blinding not verified

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Favourable findings concentrated in high-use subgroups; low-use participants did not show significant improvements.

Recorded limitations

Post-randomisation adherence groups and exclusion of noncompliers prevent causal dose-response claims; 34.5% not in final analysis, self-reported use.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
