The search strategy will include only terms relating to or describing the intervention. The terms will be combined with the PubMed filter for various interventions. The search terms will be adapted for use with other bibliographic databases in combination with database-specific filters for intervention studies, where these are available. The search will be restricted to studies published in English Language only. Studies published between January 2013 and the date the searches are run will be sought. The searches will be re-run just before the final analyses and further studies retrieved for inclusion. Study design There are no restrictions to the types of study to be included.
