Protocol for Systematic Review of Interventions to Improve Sleep Health in Adolescents Living in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries
Résumé
Abstract Introduction Adolescence is a transitory phase marked by significant changes. While adolescents are not exempted from the increasing prevalence of sleep-related issues, an urgent need for understanding the factors responsible for sleep problems in this age group and evaluating the possible interventions to mitigate this scourge has risen globally. However, despite facing substantial sleep-related issues, there has been no focus on adolescents in low-middle-income countries (LMICs). This study seeks to serve as a much-needed tool to evaluate and compare the different interventions for adolescents with sleep-related problems in LMICs and provide valuable insights to stakeholders involved with adolescents to improve overall adolescent health. Methods and Analysis The study will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis [PRISMA] guideline 2020. Eligible studies for this review will be identified following an exhaustive literature search on the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, PsychInfo, and AJOL. Our outcomes will include quantitative measures of sleep health and other health indicators. Data will be presented qualitatively using tables and diagrams, with narrative synthesis. Two independent reviewers will screen, review, and extract data from studies, with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. Additionally, we will assess study details, the risk of bias, and the strength of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. Ethics and dissemination This review will be conducted using existing studies; hence, ethical approval will not be required. We aim to present our findings at conferences and publish our manuscript in a peer- reviewed journal for widespread dissemination.
