Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Three RCTs found significant improvement of behaviors for simulation training compared to control condition, though measures were too varied for meta-analysis. → Richard Océane 2023

Richard Océane, Jollant Fabrice, Billon Grégoire, Attoe Chris, Vodovar Dominique, Piot Marie-Aude. (2023). Simulation training in suicide risk assessment and intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Medical Education Online. https://doi.org/10.1080/10872981.2023.2199469
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Narrative synthesis of 6 RCTs (n = 2,447) assessing behaviors; variety of measures did not allow meta-analysis. The review reports Coleman et al.'s virtual-reality training increased peer referral (p < 0.05), and Gould et al. found longer calls and better risk-sign identification at 6–18 months.
"Coleman et al. (2019) showed that college students were more likely to refer peers for help 2 months after training using virtual reality compared to no further training (Intervention: mean = 0.88 (Standard Deviation = 1.4); Inactive comparator: 0.30 (0.54), p < 0.05)."
