Therefore, a prospective test of the model is necessary in order to establish temporal precedence of maladaptive metacognition to persistent distress as more compelling evidence of causation.
Rather than adopting a single explanatory perspective, as is often the case with traditional theories of science, i.e. etiological models, a range of compelling evidence indicates that mental distress involves causal pathways that act both within and outside the individual[ 12].
These facts highlight the compelling need for medical schools to identify student distress (we use the term distress to broadly refer to depression, anxiety, burnout, and related mental health problems).

There are compelling theoretical and empirical reasons that link household food insecurity to mental distress in the setting where both problems are common.
However in order to provide more compelling evidence of a causal role for metacognitive beliefs in maintaining emotional distress after cancer, prospective research is needed to demonstrate a temporal relationship.
