Abstract

Highlights

• Living in a safe community, attending community-based organisations, food security and being in receipt of caregiver monitoring and praise showed accelerating effects for numerous outcomes related to the sustainable development goals.

• Additive effects for combined interventions were relatively robust for mental health outcomes; school-factors require further research.

• Existing interventions could be utilised or new ones devised to improve accelerator access.

• Community-based organisations may be well-placed to deliver accelerating services to those most vulnerable.
