PMID 37644842WHAT IT FOUND
Most goal-setting tools in adult rehabilitation lack strong evidence for improving outcomes.
While many exist to help choose or document goals, only seven were tested in randomized trials, and most of those did not isolate the tool's effect from the wider therapy programme.
Key findings
01Only seven of the 55 identified goal-setting tools had been studied using randomized controlled trial methods.
02Most tools were designed for selecting or documenting goals rather than measuring the quality of the goal-setting process itself.
03Even among the tools tested in randomized trials, most did not provide evidence of the effectiveness of goal setting in isolation from the rest of the rehabilitation programme.
