Butterfield 2010	No health outcome data
Dhar 2012	Abstract; no health outcome data
Dotterud 2012	No difference in the dampness of the intervention and control buildings
Fabian 2014	Not an empirical study; modelling of interventions
Garland 2013	No remediation or repair of buildings
Haverinen 1999	The symptoms were not surveyed after reparation of the building

O'Sullivan 2012	No control group; no verification of remediation
Reynolds 2012	No health outcome data

Stubner 2000	No control group was included in the study; no data on health outcomes
Turyk 2013	This is a multi‐component intervention to reduce asthma triggers in the home. Mould reduction was only a small component amidst many others and thus it is impossible to discern its influence
