Problems with the status quo
What's happening
-
Half of the research is never published, and it's generally when interventions have failed.
​
-
Researchers are able to change their hypotheses and analysis to make their results seem more impressive because they don't commit to how their hypotheses and analyses ahead of time
​
-
Most researchers don't share their data publicly so it's impossible to check their work or to pool related work together.
​
How this hurts the field
-
Original authors report effect sizes double that of the people who replicate their studies i.e. the interventions seemed only half as effective as originally reported.
-
Most studies have multiple errors in their statistics only uncovered years after they are first published
-
It becomes impossible to correct for multiple testing because too few people report their hypotheses ahead of time.​​

Their Consequnces
What we're doing differently
We commit to..
-
publish all of our research regardless of the results
-
share all of our (anonymised) data, and the code used to analyse it, publicly.
-
to publicly share our hypotheses and how we plan to test them before we finish gathering our data

Perinatal Depression
~38% of women in some LMICs suffer from depression before and after birth. We think that it might be possible to treat them by having volunteers talk them through an ACT workbook..
