Since seven different end-of-treatment outcomes were assessed, to account for multiple outcomes assessment and minimize type 1 errors, we set the p value to be deemed statistically significant at p < 0.007.
To describe the nature of the research, we extracted data regarding the researchers' disciplinary background, the type of article, the research approach, characteristics related to methodological reporting and assessment, and the type of media research (i.e., production, representation, reception).
