Table 2 Study inclusion and exclusion criteria for systematic review

From: Features of effective staff training programmes within school-based interventions targeting student activity behaviour: a systematic review and meta-analysis

 

Inclusion

Exclusion

Population:

School staff participating in an intervention aimed at changing any student activity behaviour across the intensity spectrum

Interventions targeting pre-school and/or pre-service teachers

Interventions targeting mostly special student populations

Intervention(s), exposure:

Any staff training (at least one behaviour change technique must have been identified)

Staff training aimed at extramural school staff behaviour (e.g. training for teacher-led after-school interventions)

Comparator(s)/control:

Any control condition described

 

Outcomes:

Staff fidelity (any quantitative measure), and/or any device-measured student activity behaviour assessed at both baseline and follow-up

Studies that do not report on outcomes after training was first introduced

Study designa:

Any experimental design

aAny randomised controlled design (determined by descriptions of the study design rather than its label)

aFeasibility, pilot, or small-scale studies (defined as ≤100 students at baseline) (determined based on the title, abstract and methods sections of study publications reporting on outcomes)
