“…The qualitative research included in this review is based upon existing evidence collated through an EGM constructed by White, Saran et al (2018) and White, Wood, and Fitzpatrick (2018). The EGM was commissioned by the CHI and presents 292 qualitative process evaluations on the implementation issues of interventions designed to target homelessness.…”

The title should be in headline style summarising the main findings of the review, for example, "enforcing conditions makes cash transfers more effective in increasing enrolments" and "detention of asylum seekers has adverse effects on mental health". The title for empty reviews can state that there is no evidence, for example, "there is no rigorous evidence on the effectiveness of refugee resettlement programs". Titles can also reflect the size of the effects or the quality of the evidence, for example, "Limited evidence and limited effects of advocacy to reduce intimate partner violence". 1.1 | The review in brief A short summary of the main findings of the review. This section may be no more than one sentence, and should not exceed 50 words. For example, "custodial sentences are no better than non-custodial sentences in reducing re-offending". Selective outcome reporting is to be avoided. So reviews with several primary outcomes will require a longer review in brief section, for example, "Intensive advocacy may improve everyday life for women in domestic violence shelters/refuges and reduce physical abuse. There is no clear evidence that intensive advocacy reduces sexual, emotional, or overall abuse, or that it benefits women's mental health. It is unclear whether brief advocacy is effective". 1.2 | What is this review about? This section should include: • A "problem statement" of the issue being addressed. For example, "half of all crime takes place in small, localised areas, or hot spots"; and "forests are an important resource for managing climate change because they store carbon, which helps mitigates the effect of carbon emissions. However, the amount of forest cover, particularly in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), is declining. Deforestation is responsible for 10-17% of global carbon emissions". • A clear description of the intervention being assessed. For example, "Payment for environmental services are voluntary contracts to supply a well-defined environmental service in exchange for payment. For the purposes of this review, the service must involve the maintenance or rehabilitation of natural forests". • The outcomes included in the review. For example "this review looked at whether custodial and alternative noncustodial sanctions have different effects on the rates of re-offending". • Optional: the policy question being addressed. For example, "the review considers evidence regarding the debate about whether PESs should also aim to reduce poverty, or whether doing so would undermine conservation efforts".

“…Outcomes are one of the two primary dimensions of an evidence map of effectiveness, being used as the column headings. Other examples of column headings are barriers and facilitators in a map of process evaluations and implementation studies (White, Wood et al, 2018 ) and tools, methods and metrics in a “methods map”.…”

Evidence and Gap Maps (EGMs) are a systematic evidence synthesis product which display the available evidence relevant to a specific research question. EGMs are produced following the same principles as a systematic reviews, that is: specify a PICOS, a comprehensive search, screening against explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria, and systematic coding, analysis and reporting. This paper provides guidance on producing EGMs for publication in Campbell Systematic Reviews.

“…Source: Bramley and Fitzpatrick (2017) interventions ). CHI's Evidence and Gaps Maps work demonstrates that, while many qualitative evaluations of homelessness services exist in the UK, these tend to be smallscale and short-term in nature, and are very often conducted by those with a vested interest in demonstrating the value of a particular intervention (White et al, 2018). While these studies are generally characterised as 'process' or 'implementation' studies in systematic review exercises -in contradistinction to quantitative 'impact' or 'effectiveness' evaluations (White, this volume) -most do in fact make some attempt to analyse intervention effectiveness, even if these attempts frequently lack rigour.…”

“…Campbell also supports the production of evidence maps, which show what evidence is available in a given field. Working with CHI, Campbell produced two maps: one of effectiveness studies (what works) and one of process evaluations (how it works) which between them contain around 500 individual pieces of research (White, 2018). Making these studies more discoverable and accessible is one way in which CHI is promoting the use of evidence, since many evaluations remain unused despite their value.…”
