    I just looked over the full text, and I notice that there didn't seem to be any mechanism, either in the questions posed or in the thematic analysis approach, for identifying anything other than positive statements about the programme. There was a question about "overall experience", but that was all.

    Add to that the kinds of response biases and other sorts of biases likely to operate when people involved in delivering a programme interview their own participants (and code their responses), it doesn't seem to add up to much. And all that "intersectionality" (participants were black and also from low SES backgrounds) would most likely work to further enhance those biases, because of the bigger power differential between the researchers/clinicians and the participants.

    The worrying thing is that, irrespective of these limitations, the paper will no doubt become an addition to the list of "positive evidence" that is cited in favour of these types of programmes.
