Study Design
| Design | Attrition | Baseline equivalence | Confounding factors | Valid, reliable measures? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cluster randomized controlled trial | High | Indeterminate |
No |
Yes |
The indeterminate rating for the manuscript is based on the ratings assigned to the findings on fruit intake and vegetable intake. These two findings received an indeterminate rating because HomVEE was unable to determine whether the intervention and comparison groups in the analyzed sample were equivalent at baseline on race or ethnicity and socioeconomic status. All other findings received a low rating because they were high attrition and did not satisfy the baseline equivalence requirement.
Manuscripts receive a rating of indeterminate whenever HomVEE reviewers lack sufficient information on one or more features of the study design that are required for the study to receive a rating of moderate or high. A rating of indeterminate is not a statement about the quality of the research or the research design.
