All providers delivering the intervention had a master’s degree in psychology; we lack evidence that any comparison condition provider had a master's degree in psychology. Having a master’s degree in psychology is not a requirement for intervention providers. Therefore, separating the effects of the intervention from the effects of providers’ education level/field is not possible.
Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: None found. Study registration was assessed by HomVEE beginning with the 2014 review.
