  1. Aim of paper
    Guidance: one sentence summing up the aim of paper.
  2. Does the paper offer a theory of change for PYD interventions?
    Guidance: by ‘theory of change’, we mean a description of the intended core components of an intervention, how these interact to produce changes and anticipated short-, medium- and long-term outcomes.3 ‘PYD’ is as defined as per our inclusion criteria.
    1. YES
    2. NO
    Guidance: if no then cease data extraction and discuss if this paper should in fact be excluded from the review
  3. Does the paper cover mostly the same ground as papers we have already reviewed?
    1. YES
    Guidance: if yes then only extract novel information and elsewhere simply cite already reviewed papers covering the same ground
    1. NO
  4. How does the paper describe PYD?
    Guidance: as general approach/specific intervention; specify
  5. Which theories are used to inform PYD theory of change?
    1. None mentioned
    2. Name and author of theory
    Guidance: Please just give this info – we do not need a description of the theory.
  6. Does the study describe how PYD is intended to act on the individual? Guidance Action on individual – in other words, what are the proximal pathways via which intervention components are intended to affect the individual? Please provide one brief paragraph.
    1. YES (one brief paragraph of summary)
    Guidance: specify mechanisms
    1. NO

    1. YES (one brief paragraph of summary)
    Guidance: specify levels/mechanisms
    1. NO

    1. YES (one brief paragraph of summary)
    Guidance: specify mechanisms
    1. NO
  9. Any other comments
