This review was led by @alexfmartin.bsky.social & synthesised evidence from 36 studies examining how #selfisolation impacted #wellbing in adults.

We conducted a multi-level meta-analysis that included ~400 effect sizes, allowing us to make fine-grain distinctions between different nocebo induction methods. In particular, we were meticulous when defining different types and modes of suggestions.
