Social and psychological interventions are often complex. Understanding randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of these complex interventions requires a detailed description of the interventions tested and the methods used to evaluate them; however, RCT reports often omit, or inadequately report, this information. Incomplete and inaccurate reporting hinders the optimal use of research, wastes resources, and fails to meet ethical obligations to research participants and consumers. In this paper, we explain how reporting guidelines have improved the quality of reports in medicine, and describe the ongoing development of a new reporting guideline for RCTs: CONSORT-SPI (an Extension for social and psychological interventions). We invite readers to participate in the project by visiting our website, in order to help us reach the best-informed consensus on these guidelines (http://tinyurl.com/CONSORT-study).
社会心理干预往往较为复杂。要理解这些复杂干预措施的随机对照试验（RCT），需要详细描述所测试的干预措施以及用于评估它们的方法；然而，RCT 报告常常会遗漏或不充分报告这些信息。不完整和不准确的报告阻碍了研究的最佳利用，浪费了资源，并且不符合对研究参与者和消费者的伦理义务。在本文中，我们解释了报告指南如何提高医学报告的质量，并描述了正在为 RCT 制定新的报告指南：CONSORT-SPI（社会心理干预扩展）。我们邀请读者访问我们的网站参与该项目，以帮助我们就这些指南达成最明智的共识（http://tinyurl.com/CONSORT-study）。
