Effectiveness Review
Analytic Framework
[PDF - 90 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
A summary evidence table for this Community Guide review is not available because the CPSTF finding is based on the following published systematic review:
de Vries HJ, Kooiman TJM, van Ittersum MW, van Brussel M, de Groot M. Do activity monitors increase physical activity in adults with overweight or obesity? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Obesity 2016;24(10):2076-91.
The number of studies and publications do not always correspond (e.g., a publication may include several studies or one study may be explained in several publications).
