New reporting statement (CONSORT extension) to guide intervention reporting

We read this paper of the reporting of smoking cessation interventions with interest. Of relevance to the Discussion in the paper, readers may wish to know of a new initiative/reporting statement published earlier this year, around the time this paper was under review. The new guide is called TIDieR (Template for Intervention Description and Replication) and is aimed at improving the reporting of interventions in any evaluative study design, particularly randomised trials.
TIDieR is an official extension to the CONSORT and SPIRIT statements. The checklist and explanatory paper are freely available (BMJ, 2014, 348:g1687) and a Word version of the checklist can be downloaded from the EQUATOR Network (under Reporting guidelines, then TIDieR).
