but that’s fine. It served a useful function at the time in getting people to think about potential informational value in P-values - it just was too crude an approach, so stimulated development of other methods. Can we have a “z-curve for dummies” explainer to improve take-up?

Interesting trial. Especially interesting to note that the SMD between the AI chatbot and waitlist is equivalent to the SMD between face-to-face psychotherapy and waitlist. If psychotherapy is «remarkably effective», then so is the AI chatbot.

Incredible to see the development of so many academic peers who are now qualified to start their own group at the ICN - good luck to anyone who applies!
