Measure validity and reliability is not assessed for findings that receive a low evidence rating; all findings in this manuscript rate low

Notes:

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.
