ReviewHealth SA = SA Gesondheid2023
A systematic review of effective parent-adolescent sexual and reproductive health information communication in lower- and middle-income countries.
Review in Health SA = SA Gesondheid, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Parents play an important role in the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of their adolescents. Parent-adolescent SRH information communication is cardinal and is expected to improve SRH outcomes of adolescents. Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to search for effective SRH information communication interventions in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to inform the adaptation of parent-adolescent SRH information communication intervention. Method: This is the first phase of an explanatory sequential mixed method study. The systematic review was carried out by employing Joanna Briggs Institute software for reviews. Search sources included Cochrane Reviews Library, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, OVID, Scopus, Web of Science and Science Direct. A systematic search strategy was formulated, making use of the key terms: adolescent, teenager, youth, parent, mother, father, caregiver, reproductive, sexual, health, information, communication and intervention. Results: Five articles met the inclusion criteria for full-text screening. The interventions included addressed sociodemographic covariates; parent-adolescent general communication; parental monitoring; parent-adolescent communication about sex-related topics; parent's sexual communication skills; parent's self-efficacy in sexual communication; parent's responsiveness to sexual communication; communication frequency; quality of sex‑related communication and information-motivational-behavioural skills. Conclusion: Findings suggest that evidence-based SRH information communication interventions are effective in improving parent-adolescent SRH information communication to optimise safe SRH behaviour in LMICs. Contribution: This systematic review identified effective SRH information communication interventions in LMICs, which can form the basis of further qualitative exploration for adaptation of a culturally sensitive intervention in Ghana.
