More Isn’t Always Better: Dosage and Components in Clinical Science

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Clinical Science

This symposium highlights the assumptions that have been made about increasing dosage in clinical science and investigates these assumptions meta-analytically and experimentally. Two meta-analyses and an experimental investigation indicate that shorter interventions may be just as, or even more, effective than longer interventions.
