Abstract

This chapter is the second of four chapters providing detail about the Formative or Development phase of the Intervention Research Framework. This chapter focuses on the contribution that past, good quality studies provide to new intervention development via a systematic literature review. The chapter details methodology for conducting a systematic literature review and the contribution that a systematic literature review can add to the potential effectiveness of an intervention. This chapter also discusses the contribution of content experts to the intervention research development processes, as well as methods for extracting expert input that can be meaningfully applied to intervention research development. The systematic literature review that contributed to the SHAHRP program development is not available for republication. However, the objectives and parameters of the review are provided along with references to enable the reader to access the full publication through usual university sources.

 Objectives: By the end of this chapter readers will be able to:

  • Identify the differences between a narrative review and a systematic review of the literature

  • Understand the elements and process for conducting a systematic literature review

  • Describe how to manage and analyse data from a systematic literature review

  • Identify various ways to access expert review of the field.
