INTRODUCTION: Early childbearing is highly prevalent in Africa. Despite the harmful consequences of early childbearing on young people, there is limited documentation of interventions that aim to improve the health and socioeconomic well-being of young parents on the continent. In this systematic review, we will map and provide a critical synthesis of interventions that aim to improve the health and socioeconomic well-being of young parents in Africa to inform future policy and programmatic decision-making. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The systematic review will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We will conduct an electronic search of peer-reviewed articles published in six databases: PubMed, Science Direct, AJOL, JSTOR, ERIC and Google Scholar. We will also search for grey literature through Google search and organisations' websites to broaden the number of interventions retrieved. Articles will be included if (1) the study participants are young mothers and fathers aged 10-24 years, (2) the article reports on interventions targeting young mothers and fathers in Africa or individual countries in Africa, (3) the article is published in English or French, (4) the article reports on health and socioeconomic well-being outcomes and (5) the article was published between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2023. We will extract relevant information from articles that meet the inclusion criteria and synthesise data using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Two reviewers will independently screen articles for inclusion, extract data from included articles and assess the methodological quality of studies. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required for the systematic review since we are synthesising publicly available publications. Findings from this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and further disseminated in conferences and convenings focusing on the health and socioeconomic well-being of young parents.

引言:在非洲,早育现象非常普遍。尽管早育对年轻人有诸多危害,但针对改善非洲年轻父母健康和社会经济福祉的干预措施却鲜有记录。在本次系统综述中,我们将对旨在改善非洲年轻父母健康和社会经济福祉的干预措施进行梳理和综合分析,以为未来的政策和规划决策提供信息。
方法和分析:本次系统综述将遵循系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南。我们将对六个数据库中的同行评审文章进行电子检索:PubMed、Science Direct、AJOL、JSTOR、ERIC 和 Google Scholar。我们还将通过 Google 搜索和组织网站搜索灰色文献,以扩大检索到的干预措施数量。如果符合以下标准,文章将被纳入:(1)研究参与者为 10-24 岁的年轻母亲和父亲;(2)文章报告的是针对非洲或非洲个别国家的年轻母亲和父亲的干预措施;(3)文章以英文或法文发表;(4)文章报告的是健康和社会经济福祉结果;(5)文章发表于 2000 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 12 月 31 日期间。我们将从符合纳入标准的文章中提取相关信息,并使用定量和定性方法对数据进行综合分析。两位审稿人将独立筛选文章,从纳入的文章中提取数据,并评估研究的方法学质量。
伦理和传播:由于本次系统综述综合了公开出版物,因此不需要伦理批准。本系统综述的结果将发表在同行评议的期刊上,并在关注年轻父母健康和社会经济福祉的会议和研讨会上进一步传播。
