Improving Adolescent Health: Person-to-Person Interventions to Improve Caregivers' Parenting Skills

Search Strategy

Electronic searches of the literature were conducted by a public health librarian in PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, ERIC, SOCIOFILE, and PsycINFO. The team also reviewed the references listed in all retrieved articles, review articles, and systematic reviews, and consulted with experts on the systematic review development team and elsewhere to identify additional articles. Articles were excluded if they were not available in English. The initial literature search on the topic was conducted in September 2006 and an update search was conducted in August 2007.
