Of the n = 8,762 who returned the completed EQ, n = 3,408 were identified as eligible (38%; 13.4% of those initially approached), randomised to intervention arms and defined the ITT sample: internet Tailored PDS (TPDS, n = 1137), internet Non-Tailored PDS (NTPDS, n = 1136) and paper-based non-tailored Control Group CGG, n = 1135).
There was a shared concern that researchers needed to move on from increasingly sophisticated descriptions of ethnic inequalities in health and focus instead on how such inequalities might be reduced, by identifying effective interventions and defining best practice (83% Principle 9).
The rehabilitation intervention was developed and defined using an iterative "plan-do-study-act" approach consistent with the guidance on developing complex healthcare interventions outlined by the UK Medical Research Council [ 18].
Finally, we emphasize that evaluation designs need to document the long term effects of intervention programs and define the expected outcomes with greater specificity.
The propositions arising from the review will also inform the design of future intervention studies, and define outstanding knowledge gaps and research needs.
The community intervention relied on volunteer women's group facilitators as an integral part of the intervention and defining characteristic of the MaiKhanda trial.
Two potential comparator interventions were identified and defined as Consultation with Carers and Individual Psychotherapy.
We are also interested in the dose intervention participants receive, and define 'full' exposure to the intervention as being present at 17– 24 individual course sessions, moderate exposure as being present at 9 –16 components, and non-exposure as being present at eight or fewer components.
Partial eta squared values were obtained from the ANOVA test in order to determine the effect size of the interventions and were defined as 0.01 (small), 0.06 (medium), and 0.14 (large).
The included thirty-one criteria are all single not-overlapping arguments to prioritize health interventions and are defined in Table 2. Here, we will give the rationale used for a selection of the criteria considered.
