Note: +  + : significantly better outcomes in the intervention group compared to the control group; + : positive significant change in the intervention group, but no difference with the control group, or no control group present; 0: no significant finding on this outcome reported; − : negative significant change in the intervention group; –: significantly better outcomes in the control group compared to the intervention group. A combination of these signs represent varying findings due to multiple outcome measures, multiple reporters, multiple time-points, or reporting of subgroup analyses. ^this study assessed manic symptoms which were grouped into EXT for this table

aThis study reported means to decrease over time, but did not include significance testing as it was a feasibility study

bThis study did not include a baseline assessment but asked participants to rate what changes had occurred due to the intervention (ID-n = 186) or whether participants expected the session to help them with specific outcomes (ID-n = 214)
