This study investigated the experience and perceived outcomes of a behavioural family intervention, standard stepping stones triple P (SSTP), for parents of children with autism.
Comparators could be no intervention, standard practice or another intervention.
However, schools will be asked to implement strategies to an intervention standard (see Table 1).
Into each subgroup (1 4), the stratified randomisation is restricted to 50 : 50 (intervention : standard of care) initially.
Furthermore, patients needed to be randomly allocated to receive a potentially immunomodulative intervention, standard therapy, or a placebo.
Eligible comparisons include no intervention, standard immunisation practices in the given setting, other interventions, or the same interventions delivered at a different level of intensity.
Control conditions included no intervention, standard or minimal care or placebo controlled conditions, or conditions that controlled for a relevant intervention component to allow comparison.
96 Four hundred and twenty-five women were randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups: 1) physical activity and diet, 2) physical activity only, or 3) no intervention, standard care.
We will compare the information on educational interventions to no intervention, standard immunisation practices in the study setting, alternative interventions or similar interventions implemented with different degrees of intensity.
Thus patients were randomised to either receive the intervention immediately (fast track) or to receive standard best practice alone for three months and then be offered the intervention (standard best practice).
