Jensen and Corralejo highlight that most mental health intervention research focuses on the group level rather than individual level. They looked at parent‐reported outcomes for up to 24 children and found that individual‐level findings appear to tell a less positive story than the more traditional group‐level finding. They call for more reporting of outcomes at individual level.
