• AMSTAR 2 |
| Aim | To assess the methodological quality (AMSTAR-2) of systematic reviews indexed across six electronic databases between 2010 and 2022 of interventions addressing interpersonal violence experienced by adolescents aged 10–25 years. |
| Level of Investigation | Descriptive |
| Summary of Findings | From 35 systematic reviews indexed across six electronic databases between 2010 and 2022 of interventions addressing interpersonal violence experienced by adolescents aged 10–25 years. Of the 35 included systematic reviews, all but one (n=34/35; 97%) scored a critically low AMSTAR 2 rating, the other review scoring a low. Reviews generally scored a low score because they failed to fully satisfy the following critical domains: registered protocol (n=30/35; 86%), adequate literature search (n=30/35; 86%), list of excluded papers with reasons (n=31/35; 89%), satisfactory assessment of the risk of bias in included interventions (n=23; 66%) and/or account for bias in the results (n=20/35; 58%). A critically low rating suggested there was more than one critical flaw and thus the review should not be relied on as an accurate and comprehensive summary of the evidence. There was also a paucity of interventions addressing interpersonal violence in low-middle income countries (12%) and none of the included interventions specifically addressed interpersonal violence perpetrated in the home such as family violence. |
