  • Perceived symptom improvement facilitated further engagement.

    “Perceived symptom improvement facilitated further engagement [89,95,103,145,146,189,197-199]”

    From Barriers to and facilitators of user engagement with digital mental health interventions: Systematic review (2021) · cites this paper as [146]

    The Results (Participant-reported outcomes and Feasibility outcomes; pages unavailable) report symptom improvements and continued meditation practice. The Discussion instead suggests that caregiver involvement may improve adherence and thereby increase efficacy; it does not establish that perceived symptom improvement prompted further engagement. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Content considered by users to have a supportive, nonjudgmental tone is a factor in engagement.

    “and whether the content was considered by users to have a supportive, nonjudgmental tone [51,145,146].”

    From Barriers to and facilitators of user engagement with digital mental health interventions: Systematic review (2021) · cites this paper as [146]

    The Results (Post-intervention interviews; page unavailable) report that participants appreciated the app’s flexibility and that some described practicing acceptance and avoiding judgment as a benefit. They do not say users perceived the content’s tone as supportive and nonjudgmental or link that tone to engagement (searched for supportive tone, nonjudgmental content, and tone). (LLM, conf=0.75)

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.
