Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria for a Scoping Review on Violence Services During Outbreaks

A scoping review of 32 academic papers from 20 low- and middle-income countries, focusing on health services for violence against women during recent outbreaks. The dataset, created by Rose Burns, contains inclusion/exclusion criteria for the review, which was last updated on 2026-04-30. The review overrepresented experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, with no studies identified from other outbreaks like Ebola or Zika.

Use Cases

• Replicating or auditing the scoping review methodology based on the documented inclusion/exclusion criteria.
• Analyzing the geographic and outbreak focus of the underlying literature based on the 20 countries and overrepresentation of COVID-19 studies mentioned.
• Studying adaptations in service delivery models based on described shifts to telehealth, use of community volunteers, and cash assistance.

Strengths

• Clear methodological scope defined by inclusion/exclusion criteria for 32 reviewed papers.
• Explicitly documents a geographic focus on 20 low- and middle-income countries.
• Uses a structured thematic framework focusing on both supply and demand for services.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited raw data content.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect temporal and geographic bias inherent to the reviewed literature, which overrepresented COVID-19.
