Interventions for promoting reintegration and reducing harmful behaviour and lifestyles in street-connected children and young people
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: Primary research objectives To evaluate and summarise the effectiveness of interventions for street‐connected children and young people that: promote inclusion and reintegration ; increase literacy and numeracy; increase access to education and employment; promote mental health, including self‐esteem; and reduce harms associated with early sexual activity and substance misuse. Furthermore, to explore what can be known about the processes of successful intervention and models of change in this area, and understand how intervention effectiveness may vary in different contexts. Secondary research objectives To explore whether effects of the intervention differ within and between populations, and whether an equity gradient impacts on these effects including and importantly, extrapolating from all findings relevance for low‐middle income countries (Peters 2004). To describe other health, educational, psycho‐social, and behavioural effects, where appropriate outcomes are available. To explore the influence of context in the design, delivery, and outcomes of the interventions. To explore the relationship between the number of components, duration, and effects of the interventions. To highlight implications for further research and research methods to improve knowledge of the interventions in relation to the primary research objective. This review will also consider potential adverse or unintended outcomes. Some outcomes identified in the literature include negative effects of poorly planned or forced interventions (CSC 2011) and detrimental outcomes frequently documented in association with reintegration of children in non‐family care into their families of origin (Thoburn 2009). A possible adverse outcome that may, however, not easily be captured in study evaluations is an increase in street‐connected children and young people's mistrust of adults in the context of interventions that may be ad‐hoc and short‐lived due to lack of funding and other structural support. Study designs that do not provide genuine opportunities for children and young people's participation throughout the research process are most likely to fail in assessing the full range of outcomes of an intervention (Panter‐Brick 2002; Slesnick 2007).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
