Description

Information to be gathered

Conceptual

Theories, models, frameworks that:

1) define the problem

2) specify indicators of the problem

3) delineate association of problem with possible determinants

- Definition of the problem (what it is)

- List of proposed indicators of the problem

- List of proposed determinants

Empirical

Reports of quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods studies that:

1) described the indicators of the problem

2) examined the determinants of the problem

3) revealed the experience of the problem by different populations including the target ethno-cultural community if available

- Quantitative descriptive findings related to the indicators of the problem, reported by participants across studies

- Quantitative correlational findings related to the determinants of the problem, indicating significant associations between the problem and the determinant across studies

- Qualitative findings pointing to indicators and determinants of the problem as experienced by participants across studies

Clinical

Published results of dataset analysis done as part of quality improvement initiatives to determine the experience of the health problem in the target ethno-cultural community

- Quantitative descriptive findings related to the indicators of the problem as reported by participants

- Quantitative correlational findings related to the determinants of the problem, indicating significant associations between the problem and the determinant

- Qualitative findings pointing to indicators and determinants of the problem as experienced by participants
