Moderator analysis across six countries of implementation; Indonesia contributed 43 of 54 samples (78% of studies). The authors state the discrepancy could be explained by cultural or other factors that have not been identified.

"It appears that RME has achieved a high level of effectiveness when implemented in Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, and Thailand. Meanwhile, the RME applied in Greece and the United States has little effect."
