Effectiveness Review
Analytic Framework
[PDF - 267 KB]
When starting an effectiveness review, the systematic review team develops an analytic framework. The analytic framework illustrates how the intervention approach is thought to affect public health. It guides the search for evidence and may be used to summarize the evidence collected. The analytic framework often includes intermediate outcomes, potential effect modifiers, potential harms, and potential additional benefits.

Effectiveness Review
Electronic searches for literature were conducted in the MEDLINE; EMBASE; ERIC; NTIS (National Technical Information Service); PsycINFO; Social Sciences Abstracts; and NCJRS (National Criminal Justice Reference Service) databases for all dates up to March 2007. Search terms included the generic and specific terms for treatments, different forms of trauma, and terms such as evaluate, effective, and outcome. Also reviewed were the references listed in all retrieved articles; researchers also consulted with experts on the systematic review development team and elsewhere for additional studies. Studies published as journal articles, government reports, books, and book chapters were considered.
