Introduction
This author reporting guide, released in December 2020, represents an update to the guide originally released in 2016. This guide provides evaluators guidance about how to describe randomized controlled trials and matched comparison group design studies, and report their findings clearly so that systematic reviews can use their results. Reporting the information described in this guide is considered a best practice in general, and the information can help Home Visiting Evidence of Effectiveness (HomVEE) reviewers assess the appropriate rating to assign to the study. The latest update clearly identifies the information that HomVEE seeks from evaluators, which will help the project assign prioritization points that determine which early childhood home visiting models are reviewed.
