EXCLUDE on absence of predictor or moderator: EXCLUDE if motivation for change is NOT being measured at treatment entry. Synonyms of motivation for change include: motivation for treatment, readiness for change and motivation for therapy.

EXCLUDE on study design: EXCLUDE books and book chapters or similar “information only” articles, guidelines, case series, case reports, qualitative studies, cohort studies, cross sectional studies, and reviews. Protocols and abstracts must be INCLUDED.
