…all participants were informed that the purpose of the study was to track their psychological and physical health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The non-deceptive placebo group was further informed that they would receive a mind–body intervention involving psychoeducation on placebo effects and taking placebo pills daily for 2 weeks after baseline assessments (Session 2). The control group did not receive additional information and was blind to their condition.

this is a major issue imo. The control group was just told that they were being tracked, while the NDP group was given an intervention beyond just taking a pill. I would like to see this experiment redone with the control group given the same education and intervention, just without the actual placebo pill.

Just so it’s clear, “administered remotely” means the placebo pills were sent through the mail after a Zoom conference with the provider.
