Risk of Bias Inline graphic, Low; Inline graphic, Unclear; Inline graphic, High. The risks of bias of studies included were assessed using the criteria below. Studies were assessed as having (a) no or low risk of bias, or (b) potential risk of bias. Criterion for all studies involved: Sampling (1. Participants are randomly selected, 2. Sample sizes are adequate, 3. Participants are representative of various demographic groups, 4. If some participants were excluded from the analyses, the exclusion is justified, 5. When group comparisons were made, participants were matched on other meaningful demographics, and 15. Other risks of bias), and measures (i.e., 6. Validated measures are used, or the authors have provided sufficient supportive information of the psychometric properties of the measures they devised and 7. Measures used were clearly defined and were appropriate). The criterion for studies that adopted a longitudinal or prospective design included: 8. Authors examined whether dropout is random, 9. Missing data were treated appropriately. Finally, the following criterion was used for experimental designs: 10. Allocation sequence generated to produce comparable groups. 11. Allocation was concealed, 12. Whether blinding was done and the effectiveness of it, 13. Outcome data for all outcomes were reported. Incomplete outcomes due to attrition and exclusions were addressed, and 14. No selective outcome reporting.
