Description
Summary:[...]complex interventions have particular reporting needs for both the intervention and control conditions in randomised trials, 3 which are essential for replication. 4 In addition to intervention design, it is also useful to report how it was delivered, how participants complied, and the context of implementation. Because standard journal article word limits currently hinder such reporting, the BMJ could help solve this problem by requiring every trial to have an online supplement that fully describes the intervention(s).
