As a result, trials that enrol heterogeneous groups of patients will yield smaller SMDs than trials enrolling less heterogeneous patients, even if the actual (not standardized) mean difference estimates and thus the absolute estimate of the magnitude of treatment effect is similar across all trials.
While the majority of published studies on financial-incentive programmes examine programmes for doctors [ 22], a number of articles investigate programmes that enrol other health professionals in addition to doctors, such as nurses, pharmacists or dentists [ 7, 11, 26].

Conducting clinical trials in small subsets presents challenges of recruitment in a study that only enrols a small proportion of potentially eligible patients.
Assuming 1.25 eligible adolescents per parent (85% of whom would complete all four surveys), design effects totalling 1.20 from clustering and weighting, and an outcome correlation of 0.6 within participants from baseline to nine months, we calculated that we needed to enrol a total of 570 parents (with 712 corresponding adolescents).
