Evaluating a Therapy Claim
Captions available
The idea
A therapy claim is evaluated on four points: the control condition, the outcome measure, the follow-up period, and whether the comparison was active.
In practice
A treatment beating a waitlist has beaten no treatment, which is a weaker claim than beating an alternative.
