Abstract
This work draws on the United Nations Development Programme SDG ‘accelerators’ concept. An accelerator is a pragmatic action, such as a service provision, law or programme intervention that has positive impact across multiple targets across SDG outcomes. Applied to the field of VAC prevention, the systematic reviews will identify interventions used to prevent violence that address violence and targets across multiple SDGs not associated with violence (Cluver, 2019). As an example, a cash-transfer programme aimed at reducing intimate partner violence may reduce intimate partner violence but may also reduce mental health burden SDG 3, increase access to education SDG 4, address gender equality SDG 5 and reduce hunger SDG 2.
There is increasing recognition that it is good practice to involve stakeholders—meaning end users such as the public, health professionals, implementers, and others—in systematic reviews, but limited evidence about how best to do this. Stakeholder involvement withinsystematic reviews has been proposed to enhance the actual and perceived usefulness of synthesised research evidence, addressing barriers to the uptake of evidence into practice. In the field of violence against children prevention this is particularly important since most interventions are designed for children and young people not with them.
