The Efficacy of Internet-Based Mindfulness Training and Cognitive-Behavioral Training With Telephone Support in the Enhancement of Mental Health Among College Students and Young Working Adults: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Mak WW, Chio FH, Chan AT, Lui WW, Wu EK. · Journal of medical Internet research · 2017 · Randomized controlled trial report · double blinding not verified
Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication
Recorded summary
Both programmes improved over time; no inactive comparator establishes effects beyond natural change. Very high attrition constrains findings.
Recorded limitations
Major post-randomisation exclusion and 83–90% outcome nonresponse among analysis sample; missing-data assumptions crucial.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.

- Major post-randomisation exclusion and 83–90% outcome nonresponse among analysis sample; missing-data assumptions crucial.
