Item Authors' judgement Description
Random Sequence generation ok? Yes Adequate
Allocation concealment? Yes Adequate
Blinding of participants and personnel ok? Unclear Given that trial was hypothetical, not clear whether being unblinded might influence stated willingness to take part in a future trial, especially if it was the same research assistant who was there when participants watched video/read booklet, and phoned them to do outcome assessment
Blinding of outcome assessment ok? Unclear As above
Incomplete outcome data handled ok? Yes Adequate
Free of selective reporting? Unclear Recruitment reported and this is only outcome needed for review
Was the study free of other bias? No Trial was hypothetical
Overall bias? Yes High risk of bias
