Our data reveal that indicated, brief transdiagnostic programs may produce significant effects, which persist at follow-up and after a booster session.
“Although meta-analytic reviews have found that differences in indicated interventions are more evident at post-test and smaller at follow-ups (e.g., Hugh-Jones et al., 2021;Teubert & Pinquart, 2011), our data reveal that indicated, brief transdiagnostic programs may produce significant effects, which persist at follow-up and after a booster session.”

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.
