Costs incurred by diagnostic tests and other therapeutic interventions were assumed to be equivalent in both arms and hence were excluded from the calculations.
Importantly, these non-dietary components of the intervention were designed to be equivalent in both groups.
As the sample was stratified by school, direct effects of school might reasonably be assumed to be equivalent across both intervention and comparison conditions.
Such hydrogens are said to be equivalent.
Parents seek the advice of therapists about the usefulness of such programs to support their child, and even more parents may expect that such interventions may be equivalent to professional child psychotherapy or child psychiatry, if their child has behavioural or emotional symptoms.
10, 13– 15 In seven papers, one intervention was dominant, 8, 10– 16, 16 ie, cost less and achieved better outcomes, in two studies one intervention was cheaper with equivalent outcomes, 15, 17 and one study found one intervention to be more expensive but with a better outcome.
Questions were developed for the DiGEM study and have been adapted by Dr Jane Speight with kind permission from Dr Andrew Farmer Our null hypothesis is that use of SMBG rather than urine monitoring in the context of delivering the DESMOND intervention will not be equivalent in terms of improving and sustaining glycaemic control over 18 months.
The study is powered to detect mean differences in change in outcome variables from baseline in the Lifestyle Intervention as compared to the Health and Wellness (control) Intervention that are equivalent to 0.35 to 0.40 standard deviations, or a "small-medium" effect size [ 61], at 80% power at a 0.05 level of significance.

Interactive cognitive-motor interventions appear to be of equivalent efficacy in ameliorating fall risk as traditional training programs.
