| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | It is unclear from the study text whether allocation was concealed |
| Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | "Scoring was primarily conducted by a therapist who was not involved in the programme implementation and blinded to the grouping of participants," which indicates low risk but "primarily conducted" may imply that not all assessments were conducted by this therapist. The study was single‐blind as the participants were not blinded to their allocation |
| Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Complete data on 21 participants were presented |
| Other bias | Low risk | No other sources of bias identified |
