The study of Kuosmanen et al. (2017) used cluster randomisation. The adjusted effect size was calculated based on an average cluster size of 6.00 and an ICC of 0.02 (i.e., design effect = 1.10), which gave a Cohen’s d of 0.35, with 95% CI [-0.16, 0.87]. The study of Sun et al. (2022) used cluster randomisation as well. Because the ICC was close to zero (resulting in a design effect of 1.00), the adjusted effect size was the same as the unadjusted effect size reported in the forest plot. In the study of Kato et al. (2008) different measures for minors and adults were used to measure quality of life and the study is therefore included twice in the forest plot. CI = confidence interval, ICC = intracluster/intraclass correlation coefficient.
