| Notes | ||
| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Adequate sequence generation? | High risk | Sequence generation method not reported |
| Allocation concealment? | High risk | Assigned to groups alternately 'at random' from an alphabetical list |
| Blinding? All outcomes | High risk | Blinding not feasible. Could have influenced outcomes. |
| Incomplete outcome data addressed? All outcomes | High risk | Loss to follow‐up known to have occurred but participant flow not clearly reported |
| Free of selective reporting? | Unclear risk | Not clear that all pre‐specified outcomes were included |
| Free of other bias? | Low risk | No other sources of bias identified |
| Adequate matching of intervention / control groups? | High risk | Apparently substantial baseline differences in travel mode between intervention and control groups despite randomisation. At baseline, the percentage of individuals driving alone for five days a week in the intervention group was 56.6%, and in the control group was 44.1%. |
