Recorded summary

Youth involvement and terminology varied; power dynamics and reporting were often inadequate.

Recorded limitations

Methods/reporting synthesis rather than an effectiveness trial; no paper met all ten reporting criteria.

Evidence and provenance

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