Understanding randomized controlled trials of complex social and psychological interventions requires a detailed description of the interventions tested and the methods used to evaluate them. However, randomized controlled trial 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. We explain how reporting guidelines have improved the quality of reports in medicine, and describe the ongoing development of a new reporting guideline for randomized controlled trials: an extension of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials for social and psychological interventions. We invite readers to participate in the project by visiting our Web site, to help us reach the best-informed consensus on these guidelines ( http://tinyurl.com/consort-study ).
理解复杂的社会和心理干预的随机对照试验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，随机对照试验报告往往会省略或不充分地报告这些信息。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。我们解释了报告准则如何提高医学报告的质量，并描述了为随机对照试验制定新报告准则的进展：对社会和心理干预的临床试验报告统一标准的扩展。我们邀请读者通过访问我们的网站参与该项目，帮助我们就这些准则达成最明智的共识（http://tinyurl.com/consort-study）。
