Contributions of authors

As for the first version of this review, FF, Patrizia Lemma and EV conceptualised the review; Federica Vigna‐Taglianti, Alessio Zambon and EV performed the literature searches and organised paper collection. FV‐T, FF, Alberto Borraccino, AZ and EV reviewed the papers. FV‐T, FF and EV abstracted data from the papers for meta‐analysis. FF wrote the introduction, results, discussion and conclusions sections. FV‐T wrote the methods, description of studies and methodological quality of included studies sections. EV wrote the abstract and helped to complete the review. All authors provided comments on the final version.

For the update FF and EV selected the studies for inclusion. SM, DB and EV extracted data from studies. FF and DB updated the introduction. SM performed meta‐analysis and wrote the methods and results sections of the review. EV wrote the abstract and the plain language summary. FF wrote the discussion and the conclusions. All authors provided comments on the final version.

Differences between protocol and review

The following changes have been made in the present update, compared with the previous version:

  1. We have excluded observational studies because a large number of RCTs were retrieved in the update.

  2. We changed the classification of the types of programmes, adopting the system proposed by Thomas (Thomas 2013), as explained in the background section.

  3. We no longer considered intermediate outcomes (attitudes toward dugs, acquirement of personal skills) and other less relevant secondary outcomes (peer/adult drug use, other changes in behaviours).

Notes

The correction has been made to address concerns from the lead author of the study CLIMATE 2009 about the incorrect reporting of the results.

Further amendments are underway to address the inconsistencies in reporting, interpretation of results and GRADE quality ratings identified by Central Editorial Unit.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).
