Interventions targeting the mental health and wellbeing of care-experienced children and young people in higher-income countries: Evidence map and systematic review
ConclusionsFuture intervention development might focus on structural-level intervention theories and components, and target outcomes related to subjective wellbeing and suicide. In accordance with current methodological guidance for intervention development and evaluation, research needs to integrate theoretical, outcome, process and economic evaluation in order to strengthen the evidence base.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42020177478.

An emerging framework for digital mental health design with Indigenous young people: a scoping review of the involvement of Indigenous young people in the design and evaluation of digital mental health interventions
ConclusionsThis study identified recommendations for undertaking participatory design with Indigenous young people and evaluated the current literature against these criteria. Common gaps were evident in the reporting of study processes. Consistent, in-depth reporting is needed to allow assessment of approaches for this hard-to-reach population. An emergent framework, informed by our findings, for guiding the involvement of Indigenous young people in the design and evaluation of dMH tools is presented.Trial registrationAvailable via osf.io/2nkc6 (Source: Systematic Reviews)

Physiotherapy management of children with cerebral palsy in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review protocol
DiscussionUnderstanding how physiotherapists manage children with CP in LMICs is essential for the development of internationally sound, yet locally relevant, intervention strategy for physiotherapists. It is anticipated that the results of the scoping review will inform the thinking geared towards the development of a contextualised evidence-based framework for physiotherapists to effectively manage CP in children.Systematic review registrationOpen Science Framework.https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/VTJ84 (Source: Systematic Reviews)

Promoting physical activity to patients: a scoping review of the perceptions of doctors in the United Kingdom
ConclusionThis review provides new evidence that historical barriers and influencing factors have a persisting impact on the ability and willingness of UK doctors to engage with PA promotion with patients. Previous efforts to address these factors would appear to have had limited success. Further intervention efforts are required to ensure more widespread and effective PA promotion to patients.

HPV self-sampling versus healthcare provider collection on the effect of cervical cancer screening uptake and costs in LMIC: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOur review indicates that self-sampling improves screening uptake, particularly in low-income countries; however, to this date, there remain few trials and associated cost data. We recommend further studies with proper cost data be conducted to guide the incorporation of HPV self-sampling into national cervical cancer screening guidelines in low- and middle-income countries.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42020218504.

The impact of sports participation on mental health and social outcomes in adults: a systematic review and the ‘Mental Health through Sport’ conceptual model
ConclusionsThe findings of this review confirm that participation in sport of any form (team or individual) is beneficial for improving mental health and social outcomes amongst adults. Team sports, however, may provide more potent and additional benefits for mental and social outcomes across adulthood. This review also provides preliminary evidence for the Mental Health through Sport model, though further experimental and longitudinal evidence is needed to establish the mechanisms responsible for sports effect on mental health and moderators of intervention effects. Additional qualitative work is also required to gain a b...

Performance of active learning models for screening prioritization in systematic reviews: a simulation study into the Average Time to Discover relevant records
ConclusionsActive learning models for screening prioritization demonstrate significant potential for reducing the workload in systematic reviews. The Naive Bayes + TF-IDF model yielded the best results overall. The Average Time to Discovery (ATD) measures performance of active learning models throughout the entire screening process without the need for an arbitrary cut-off point. This makes the ATD a promising metric for comparing the performance of different models across different datasets. (Source: Systematic Reviews)
