Differences between protocol and review
We included four trials that had a small percentage of participants aged 19 to 24 years (outside the age limit stipulated in the protocol). However, the ages of most the study population (more than 75%) in each of these four trials were within the age limit stipulated in the review protocol (10 to 19 years).
We excluded all quasi experimental and cross over trials as this was cumbersome and would have prolonged the completion of this review.
Methodological quality of included studies were assessed using "Risk of Bias tool" outlined in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions Version 5.0.1, 2008 and no longer by method outlined in the 2004 Cochrane Reviewers' Handbook (Clark 2004) as previously stated.
