Table 7 Applicability of the evidence to LMICs
Review | Were some or all of the studies included in the systematic review conducted in LMICs or were the findings in the review consistent across settings or time periods and therefore suggest wide applicability? [Proportion of studies conducted in LMICs] | Are there important differences in on-the-ground realities and constraints in LMICs that might substantially alter the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention (where applicable) or raise questions about the applicability of the review findings? | Are there important differences in health system arrangements that may mean an intervention could not work in the same way in LMICs or review findings may not be applicable to LMICs? |
