In this Discussion, we summarize some of these issues emerging from the present self-report data and speculate on the key drivers behind those differences.
Therefore, the present self-reports are likely to have been biased by prior information about exposure.
However, as the presented self-reports and heart rate data clearly showed, the participants in the relevant groups did report anxiety in response to the suggestion of potential harm and this anxiety dissipated when they washed their hands.
The Parental Bonding Instrument, present self-report version, (PBI-PCh) includes three scales, Warmth, Protectiveness and Authoritarianism, which describe three dimensions of current parenting.
In 13 trials presenting self reported physical activity, we saw small to medium positive intervention effects at 12 months (odds ratio 1.42, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.73; standardised mean difference 0.25, 0.11 to 0.38).
Most (n = 31) presented self-report survey data (five longitudinal, 26 cross-sectional); 10 presented routinely collected data (GP/hospital statistics).
All reported participant perceptions and a majority presented self-reports, i.e. either a mixture of self-reports and peer reports, or self-reports alone.
In the present study, respondents' self report on their own practice should be interpreted with care, e.g., it may be biased by a wish to answer "correctly".
We therefore excluded from the present report 62 self-reported virgins.
For the purposes of the present study, the self-report Parts I and IV of the HTQ were adapted and analyzed to become the Darfuri versions of the HTQ.
For the present analysis the self-report version of the KINDL-R was used.
