Adherence
Telehealth-delivered dietary interventions for chronic disease management are frequently reported with insufficient detail, preventing accurate interpretation of trial results and implementation in clinical practice.
If you are a clinician looking to implement a telehealth dietary program based on a research paper, do not assume the published description is sufficient. You must actively seek out the full protocol, supplementary materials, or contact the authors directly, as most publications omit critical details about materials, tailoring, and fidelity.
Many details of the experimental and comparison interventions in telehealth-delivered dietary chronic disease management trials are incompletely reported. This prevents accurate interpretation of trial results and implementation of effective interventions in clinical practice.
