Risk of bias
Bias	Authors' judgement	Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias)	Unclear risk	No detail
Allocation concealment (selection bias)	Unclear risk	No detail
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes	High risk	Therapists and participants cannot be blinded in trials of family‐based therapy
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes	Low risk	Quote: "Outcome assessors blind to allocation"
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes	Unclear risk	No detail on dropouts Correspondence from author indicated "dropout occurred at 4 weeks of commencement of treatment" with no other information No ITT analysis.
Selective reporting (reporting bias)	Unclear risk	Authors report that they collected data on general functioning, but the data are not reported in a format that is useable for analysis. From personal correspondence it is noted that Family Health Scale is not administered at follow‐up
Other bias	Unclear risk	Data extracted by Spanish‐speaking colleague who was not part of the main review team
