Types of study to be included
We will include all published and unpublished randomised controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of any psychosocial and educational interventions for women in the latent phase of labour. Studies published in abstract form will only be included if the abstract contained sufficient information to assess eligibility and risk of bias, and if the results are described in detail. We plan to include cluster-randomised trials if they are eligible. We will not include quasi-randomised trials.
