Thus, regular adherence – defined as participating at least 20 min a week during the 20-week intervention – was achieved by 56% of the questionnaire respondents.
One previous highly successful number sense intervention achieved this by capitalizing on the key features of board games, in which the number/space link is concretized as playing pieces are moved along the board; the distance of their moves being enumerated or estimated numerically by children [ 12, 13].
Thus, complement inhibition as a therapeutic treatment could be achieved by interventions aimed at blocking the pathological activities of complement activation products, while avoiding disruption of the role of complement in host immunity.
Evaluation of treatment integrity and compliance by the physiotherapists for both the advice and the specific physiotherapy interventions will be achieved by checking the physiotherapist's clinical notes for each participant at week four, week seven and week ten of their program.
Mean SBPs of eligible intervention patients were 2.4 mm Hg lower (95% CI: -3.4 to -1.5; P<0.001) immediately after the intervention than those achieved by control patients.The Adherence and Intensification of Medications program more rapidly lowered SBPs among intervention patients, but usual-care patients achieved equally low SBP levels by 6 months after the intervention period.
To be certain that the effects of any preconception intervention will be achieved by the time the ovum is fertilized, the interval between starting the intervention and conception must be adequate.
Evaluation of delivery (adherence to intervention manuals) is achieved by session videotape.
In patients with severe infections or in those who require surgical intervention, remission can be achieved by treatment with corticosteroids, intravenous IgG and growth factors, particularly granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) [ 9, 10, 13].
Although cancer treatment does not provide the high benefit to risk ratio achieved by interventions against infectious causes of cancer, the therapeutic interventions that are most successful tend to target essential causes.
Furthermore, a number of intervention components were modified or added, which leaves the question to what extent the intervention objectives will be achieved by means of the modified intervention.
