A Meta-Analysis of School-Based Interventions Aimed to Prevent or Reduce Violence in Teen Dating Relationships (2017, background): “Systematic reviewers, moreover, should consider the components of the chain that contribute to prevention efforts effecting behavior change, and they should identify specific components that are necessary to improve outcomes (Anderson et al., 2011).”
PRISMA-Equity 2012 Extension: Reporting Guidelines for Systematic Reviews with a Focus on Health Equity (2012, background): “Examples of using such frameworks for systematic reviews are increasingly available [24,25].”
Theory of Change: a theory-driven approach to enhance the Medical Research Council's framework for complex interventions (2014, background): “This can be used by other researchers to understand how the intervention worked (for example in systematic reviews [39,40]) and also be used to advocate with policymakers to facilitate the scale-up of successful interventions.”
Synthesising quantitative and qualitative evidence to inform guidelines on complex interventions: clarifying the purposes, designs and outlining some methods (2019, neutral): “17 23 24 In practice, this process can be lengthy, iterative and fluid with multiple revisions to the review scope, often developing and adapting a logic model 17 as the available evidence becomes known and the potential to incorporate different types of review designs and syntheses of quantitative…”
