Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a judgement |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Insufficient information to make a judgement |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Low attrition (16%). Full‐information maximum likelihood estimation with robust standard error estimation, which assumes data are missing at random, was used in both Parts 1 and 2 |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | All prespecified outcomes were reported |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Not possible to blind participants to intervention. Insufficient information to make a judgement about blinding of therapists |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Interviewers were not members of the research team, were blind to experimental condition |
