OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of psychological and/or educational interventions to prevent the onset of episodes of @entity308 . METHODS: Systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SR/MA). We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, OpenGrey, and PROSPERO from their inception until February 2014. Two reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility criteria of all SR/MA, abstracted data, and determined bias risk (AMSTAR). RESULTS: Twelve SR/MA (156 non-repeated trials and 56,158 @entity1 ) were included. Of these, 142 (91%) were randomized-controlled, 13 (8.3%) controlled trials, and 1 (0.6%) had no control group. Five SR/MA focused on @entity1 and adolescents, four on specific populations ( @entity1 after childbirth, of low socioeconomic status, or unfavorable circumstances; @entity1 with severe traumatic physical injuries or @entity64 ) and three addressed the general population. Nine (75%) SR/MA concluded that interventions to prevent @entity308 were effective. Of the 156 trials, 137 (87.8%) reported some kind of effect size calculation. Effect sizes were small in 45 (32.8%), medium in 26 (19.1%), and large in 25 (18.2%) trials; 41 (29.9%) trials were not effective. Of the 141 trials for which follow-up periods were available, only 34 (24.1%) exceeded 12months. CONCLUSION: Psychological and/or educational interventions to prevent onset of episodes of @entity308 were effective, although most had small or medium effect sizes.
