The review notes that most participants in the included studies were predominantly female, older, and White. Given this demographic skew, how can the authors justify the generalizability of their findings to broader populations, including younger individuals, men, and ethnically diverse groups? What steps could be taken in future research to ensure more inclusive and representative samples?
Moreover, the review acknowledges the scarcity of longitudinal data to assess the sustained impact of AoP programmes beyond the intervention period. How might the absence of long-term follow-up data affect the interpretation of the programmes’ effectiveness?
What methodological approaches could be employed in future studies to better capture the durability of wellbeing improvements and potential relapse rates post-intervention?
