aAnalyses carried out were mixed-effect models: one with two levels (intervention deliverer and) and one with three (site, intervention deliverer, and participant). bIn one study, the sample size was adjusted to account for clustering by using an intracluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.02; for the other study the observed ICC of the higher level(s) was reported for the two primary outcomes (retention and engagement) under a two level (therapist and participant) and a 3 level model (site, therapist and participant) as 0.180 and 0.22 and 0.099 and 0.110 respectively
