Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews thematic synthesis to analyse and synthesise the evidence. This provided analytical themes and a conceptual model. We used the GRADE-CERQual (Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research) approach to assess our confidence in each finding. Our findings were integrated with two previous intervention e ectiveness reviews by juxtaposing the quantitative and qualitative findings in a matrix.
