Differences between protocol and review

In early versions of this review we used an I2 estimate of 75% or more to indicate the presence of heterogeneity. For the 2010 update we used a more conservative estimate of heterogeneity I2 more than 50%. In addition, 11 studies that were included in earlier versions, under a subsection of fewer than five family intervention sessions, were removed and are to be included in a separate review of family intervention using entry criteria of fewer than five family intervention sessions.
