  • Helmreich et al. examined 43 resilience enhancement RCTs and identified numerous 'best practices' to implement when developing a resilience enhancement intervention.

    “For example, Helmreich et al. (14) examined 43 resilience enhancement RCTs and identified numerous “best practices” to implement when developing a resilience enhancement intervention, many of which are implemented herein.”

    From Enhancing resiliency and optimizing readiness in military personnel through psychological flexibility training: design and methodology of a randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [14]

    The cited work is labeled a protocol, and its Types of studies section specifies RCTs it plans to include; it does not report having examined 43 trials. Its Description of the intervention says there is little consensus about effective programme components and that intervention-design guidelines remain under discussion. Appendix 2 gives examples of training methods, not established “best practices.” No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.90)

  • A resilience enhancement intervention must describe the underlying resilience concept, utilize an a priori sample calculation, have specified inclusion and exclusion criteria, adequate follow-up periods, and conduct a comprehensive baseline assessment.

    “Specifically, they posit that a resilience enhancement intervention must describe the underlying resilience concept the intervention is based on (i.e., psychological flexibility within the ACT framework (16)), utilize an a priori sample calculation to ensure adequate power, have specified inclusion and exclusion criteria, adequate follow-up periods (herein we utilize four), and conduct a compreh”

    From Enhancing resiliency and optimizing readiness in military personnel through psychological flexibility training: design and methodology of a randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [14]

    The protocol’s “How the intervention might work” section discusses underlying resilience concepts, and “Repeated observations on participants” specifies follow-up periods for the review’s analyses. These are not stated as requirements for an intervention. The cited passages do not require an a priori sample-size calculation, specified inclusion and exclusion criteria, or a comprehensive baseline assessment. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Interventions targeting increased psychological flexibility are recommended not only for facilitating recovery after stressors but also for enhancing resilience.

    “Interventions targeting increased psychological flexibility—ACT being the foremost in this field—are recommended not only for facilitating recovery after stressors but also for enhancing resilience (14, 16, 29, 30).”

    From Enhancing resiliency and optimizing readiness in military personnel through psychological flexibility training: design and methodology of a randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [14]

    In “How the intervention might work” (page not provided), the protocol says ACT-based interventions might foster resilience factors such as cognitive flexibility and might improve adjustment to stressful conditions. It does not recommend these interventions or establish that they facilitate recovery after stressors; it presents their effects as possibilities. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
