Comparisons with generic health education, instead of no-intervention control groups, are most important because they provide information on the effects of tailoring.
If this review had been restricted only to comparisons between tailored interventions with generic health education comparison groups, it would have focused specifically on the additional effects of tailoring in health education.
That said, one of the randomized studies specifically examined the effect of tailored messages, compared with generic messages, either with or without clinician brief advice and found no significant effect of tailoring on alcohol consumption or related consequences after 12 months (Blow et al. 2006).
We modelled the effect of tailoring reactions on chemical similarity search by generating linear and cyclic nonribosomal peptides, polyketides, and hybrid natural products with one to three hexose or deoxysugars (Additional file 4: Table S2), and additionally analyzed the effect of changing the site of glycosylation (Fig. 7).
Several studies have examined the effects of tailored text messaging on alcohol use.
The effects of tailored messages and verbal reinforcement on other outcomes, such as knowledge, mood, quality of life/caregiver burden, remain unknown.
It also sought to investigate possible effects of tailored and weekly e-mail reminders on initial uptake and adherence to the intervention.
Hypothetically, if feedback on blood cultures was structurally provided, but feedback on urine cultures not (or incidentally), it might have had an inverse effect on tailoring therapy for UTIs.
16 17 While tobacco companies are careful to name young adults as a key target market, 18 20 designers working alongside the tobacco industry have outlined the inevitable knock-on effect of tailoring designs for this audience.
It is worth noting that many of these methods focus on tailoring the incident laser beams to reduce the scattering effect (including the tissue induced aberration and refractive index mismatch) of the turbid sample on the light waves.
