Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Interested participants were randomly assigned to the treatment or control group and then contacted by the project coordinators. An assessment session was then scheduled. Randomisation sequence generation process not described |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to understand whether intervention allocations could have been foreseen in advance of, during, enrolment. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Quote: "participants were informed that they were either in the treatment group or wait‐list control group." |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Quote: "This was described to them as the immediate treatment group or the delayed treatment group." Participants were not blinded whereas outcomes are self‐reported. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Quote: "There were no significant differences in dropout rates between the ACT and control groups (Fisher’s exact test p = 0.36)." |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Unclear risk | No trial registration, nor did we find one online. |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Response rate was not reported. |
