Search strategies for “Addressing Child Labor: Are Interventions to Prevent and Respond to Child Labor Working?” 1 Search methodology A draft search strategy was compiled in the Ovid Medline ALL database by an experienced information professional. The search strategy included strings of terms, synonyms and subject headings to reflect the following concepts: * child labor; * intervention studies. No filters were added to the search. The search strategy was refined with the project team until the retrieved results reflected the scope of the project. Once agreed, the draft searches were adapted for each database to incorporate database-specific syntax and controlled vocabularies. Final search strategies were run during October 2024. A grey literature search was also conducted in November 2024. Relevant websites were identified by the project team and browsed for suitable literature. An internet search using the DuckDuckGo search engine in an incognito Google Chrome browser was also run. This used terms pulled from the database search. A list of the browsed websites is included below. This document contains full details of the search strings used for each database and the grey literature search. 2 Sources Search strategies for were run on the following bibliographic databases on 31 October 2024: *Wiley Cochrane Library, Issue 10 of 12, October 2024.
