CHAPTER 6 IMPACTS ON HEALTH OF CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY published review articles to locate additional relevant publications not identified during the database searches. The authors’ professional networks were also used to identify further publications. b. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Records published from 1980 onwards were potentially eligible for inclusion. Publication format was limited to peer-reviewed journal articles, including all types of review publications (narrative, systematic, meta-analysis). We included publications from any country and in any language. Publications were deemed eligible for inclusion if participants had been deprived of liberty in the administration of justice. As not all countries have a separate child justice system and the age cut-off for justice-related youth detention varies between countries, publications relating to children (aged <19 years) under the supervision of adult correctional systems were included, if age-specific findings were available. Publications where participants were aged <19 years at the time they were first deprived of liberty, and that reported the prevalence of at least one health outcome, were eligible for inclusion. Publications were excluded if they reported on health outcomes in selected samples only (e.g., specific categories of detainees, or those referred to healthcare). Publications that reported knowledge of health risk behaviours or intention to engage in health-protective behaviours, but did not report on an actual health outcome, were excluded. c. Publication Selection Search results were imported into EndNote reference management software and duplicates were deleted using a standard function. Title and abstract screening was conducted independently by three researchers. Full text review of the remaining publications was then conducted independently by three researchers and reference lists of potentially relevant publications were manually searched. Uncertainty regarding whether publications met the inclusion criteria were resolved through discussion among the researchers. In instances when the full text of potentially relevant publications could not be located, two attempts were made to contact the author(s) via email to request a copy. 124
