30 They are likely to participate more extensively and follow through more rigorously and enthusiastically with the intervention than units at later stages of the intervention diffusion.

Before we modify our daily practice in accordance with these interesting findings, we must consider whether the data were rigorously obtained, are generalizable and are likely to improve the standard of care.
As a note of caution, any use of countermeasures should not affect strengthening the traditional public health response measures, which have a very successful track record and are likely to be successful in this outbreak if widely and rigorously applied.

The authors propose that the use of the common components of parenting interventions for children 4 8 is likely to yield success even without a specific, manualized intervention that has previously been rigorously tested.
To justify such changes, results of rigorously conducted and adequately powered RCTs in a population most likely to benefit (for instance, ICU patients) are needed, the design of which should be informed by comprehensive systematic review of current evidence.
The only screening method that has been rigorously evaluated is old-fashioned X-ray film mammograms, but it is likely to be replaced by something, or some combination of things, whose benefits and risks are largely unknown.
However, the potential biases are likely to be greater for non-randomized studies compared with RCTs, so results should be interpreted rigorously when they are included in reviews and meta-analyses [ 12].
