Registration Date: 11 Nov 2010
Prospective:Whether the trial was registered before participant recruitment began Yes
Assessment Rationale:How INSPECT-AI determined the prospective registration status by comparing dates Registration date is on or before LLM recruitment start date.
Study Design EvidenceDates and timelines extracted by INSPECT-AI from the publication text
Recruitment Start: 22-11-2010
Recruitment Start Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment start date Methods: 'Participants were enrolled from the waiting rooms of the YCH ATC from the 22 November to the 22 December, 2010.'
Recruitment End: 22-12-2010
Recruitment End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the recruitment end date Methods: 'Participants were enrolled from the waiting rooms of the YCH ATC from the 22 November to the 22 December, 2010.'
Study End: 05-2011
Study End Rationale:INSPECT-AI's reasoning for how it identified the study end date Results: 'Participants were followed up from December 2010 to May 2011, when the intervention was stopped.'
Overall — What is the overall integrity assessment of the study?
Rationale: There are some concerns about certain papers published by the authors. However, these concerns originated from the authors' group directly, and they have reported that they are working on addressing them. Importantly, these issues do not affect the current study, as they are unrelated. Nevertheless, I am unsure whether I will use this study or not.
