We conclude that many aspects of the CBCS-HCV intervention and study protocol were highly feasible.
The aims of this research were to determine the feasibility of recruiting and enrolling Cameroonian girls in HIV prevention research studies, estimate the efficacy of the intervention, and assess cultural sensitivity of the intervention and study protocols.
The objectives of this paper are to describe the research activities associated with CBCS-HCV development and pilot testing, including: (1) formative work leading to intervention development; (2) preliminary study protocol; and (3) pilot feasibility testing of the intervention and study design.
Although there is considerable variability in study design and duration, study population, type of soy isoflavone employed in the intervention, and study outcomes, the evidence points to a lack of a protective role of soy isoflavones in the prevention of postmenopausal bone loss.
A more detailed description of the intervention and study can be found elsewhere (Kinner et al. 2013; Kinner et al. 2014).
Further details regarding the search strategies (e.g. cut-off date, block-wise search, or separate searches by indication, intervention and study type) are provided in Section 4.2.3.2 Suppl.
The river has been the focus of national and international intervention and study for past several decades to identify and establish causes and impact of anthropogenic activities on river water quality.
Given the nature of the intervention and study design, a suitable control group was not possible.
SB, DM, SR and IS participated substantially in designing the intervention and study methodology.
Findings appear to vary considerably according to the type of intervention and study design.
Comparator groups (usual care, waiting list, placebo, pharmacological intervention) and study duration are also highly variable.
