Usual and Unusual Care: Existing Practice Control Groups in Randomized Controlled Trials of Behavioral Interventions
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To evaluate the use of existing practice control groups in randomized controlled trials of behavioral interventions and the role of extrinsic health care services in the design and conduct of behavioral trials. Method: Selective qualitative review. Results: Extrinsic health care services, also known as nonstudy care, have important but under-recognized effects on the design and conduct of behavioral trials. Usual care, treatment-as-usual, standard of care, and other existing practice control groups pose a variety of methodological and ethical challenges, but they play a vital role in behavioral intervention research. Conclusions: This review highlights the need for a scientific consensus statement on control groups in behavioral trials. CUC = constrained usual care; EP = existing practice; EUC = enhanced usual care; eEUC = extensively enhanced usual care; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; IC = inadequate care; iSOC = individualized standard of care; mEUC = minimally enhanced usual care; PMR = progressive muscle relaxation; RC = routine care; RCT = randomized controlled trial; SC = standard care; SOC = standard of care; uSOC = uniform standard care; STR = standardized treatment regimen; TAU = treatment-as-usual; UC = usual care

The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“We compared REVITALIZE to an EUC condition consisting of fatigue-specific educational materials which exceeds typical clinical offerings [26,27]”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“if the goal of a trial is to see if an intervention is superior to existing practices (in this case, UC), it must be compared with them.43”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“We considered an alternative comparison condition to control for attention, but it would not reflect current clinical realities and attention control conditions can have unintended detrimental effects [26 -28].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the citing paper
“half of the participants were randomly assigned (using block randomization) to receive a brief motivational intervention plus a referral resource list (n = 206); the other half (n = 197) received usual care plus a referral resource list (minimally enhanced usual care or mEUC; Freedland et al., 2011).”

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.
