Research Note for Facilitators
CGT is evidence-informed, not yet evidence-based by the standard of RCT validation.
MetroNP is actively collecting outcome data across all CGT cohorts and pursuing a university research partnership.
Facilitators are required to administer pre- and post-program outcome measures (see Section 7) to contribute to this evidence base.
