More about Intervention Outcomes

This practice was supported by only one study, had no new studies supporting its effectiveness published since 2008, and an article was published since then that documents its lack of effectiveness (Barton, et al., 2015). Practitioners should not interpret inclusion of this practice in the TARGET as an endorsement of its evidence base.
