Interventions for reducing violence against children in low- and middle-income countries: an evidence and gap map

Prachi Pundir, Ashrita Saran, Howard White, Jill Adona, Ramya Subrahmanian - Campbell Collaboration

This evidence and gap map will provide an overview of the existing systematic reviews and impact evaluations on the key outcome domains and interventions aimed at reducing violence against children in LMICs using an intervention-outcome framework. It will identify areas in which there are good bodies of synthesized knowledge to inform policy, and those areas in which there is little or no evidence synthesis. The specific objectives of this map are to:

i. Develop a clear framework of types of interventions and outcomes to provide an overview of available evidence on the interventions available for reducing violence against children in LMICs.

ii. Map available systematic reviews and primary studies on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce violence against children in LMICs in this framework, with an overview provided in a summary report.

iii. Provide database entries of included studies which summarize the intervention, context, study design and main findings.
