Author: FRASER Caitlin; et al.;
Title: Intervention programs for children of parents with a mental illness: a critical review.
Reference: International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, 8(1), February 2006, pp.9-20.
Abstract: This review evaluates the quality of the existing evidence for intervention programs for children in families affected by parental mental illness. Five hundred and twenty articles were reviewed, and twenty-six studies were judged to be relevant. The majority of these studies were randomised trials (n=8) and pre-post interventions with no comparison or control groups (n=8). None of the studies measured cost-effectiveness or included customer or carer consultation, and few outlined the theoretical basis for the development of the intervention program. Seven studies were rated as methodologically strong, four as of moderate quality and fifteen as methodologically weak. The authors conclude that this data provides very limited evidence of program effectiveness as determined by well-being or illness outcomes for the child. It is argued that future programs should be rigorously evaluated and widely disseminated, with long-term follow-up of participants.

Systematic reviews

Example of systematic review record:

Author: CARTER Y. H.; et al.;
Title: Improving child protection: a systematic review of training and procedural interventions.
Reference: Archives of Diseases in Childhood, 91(9), 2006, pp.740-743.
Abstract: Seven studies of procedural interventions and 15 of training interventions are appraised in this review, which covers evaluations published between 1994 and 2005. The quality of evaluation was generally poor, but certain procedural interventions such as the use of checklists and structured forms can result in improved recording of key information and may help alert staff to the possibility of abuse. Several potentially effective training interventions were identified, but the quality of evaluation makes it impossible to draw firm conclusions. More rigorous studies of training programmes are urgently needed, as well as additional objective evaluations of procedural interventions.

Meta-analyses

Title: Eating disorder prevention research: a meta-analysis.
Reference: Eating Disorders, 14(3), 2006, pp.191-213.
Abstract: Eating disorder prevention programmes have yielded mixed results, and there is some concern that where they include the provision of information they may trigger the behaviour they seek to prevent. This meta-analysis of 46 studies finds no evidence that this is the case. The interventions studied produced large effects on knowledge and small effects on reducing maladaptive eating attitudes and behaviours. Studies targeting participants at a relatively higher risk for developing an eating disorder produced greater benefits. The authors conclude that such interventions are worth developing and implementing.

Title: Let me in I'm a researcher: getting involved in research
Publisher: London : Great Britain . Department of Health, 2006. 116p.
Abstract: This report is about how to involve people with learning difficulties in research. It is for anyone and everyone who does research, takes part in research or pays for research. It is for people in universities, people in government, people in policy organisations, those who give grants for research and, of course, people with learning difficulties. This report was produced by a team of researchers with learning disabilities. In 2002, the DH Policy Research Programme funded twelve academic research studies designed to assess the impact of the Valuing People White Paper. Each of the research teams had indicated it would involve people with learning disabilities in the research process. The authors of the report were funded by DH to assess the extent and nature of this involvement, and to make recommendations based on lessons learned. The team of people with learning disabilities were provided with training and logistic support by Values into Action, but otherwise took full control of the whole research process.
