James-Palmer A, Anderson EZ, Zucker L, Kofman Y, Daneault JF. · Frontiers in pediatrics · 2020 · Review / synthesis
Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication · Original publication
Recorded summary
Many studies reported anxiety/depression reductions, but methodological quality weak to moderate.
Recorded limitations
Counting significant studies is not pooled efficacy; heterogeneous conditions/interventions; only a minority independently double-screened; harms sparsely reported.
Evidence and provenance
Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
