Community mobilisation approaches to preventing and reducing adolescent multiple risk behaviour: a realist review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescent multiple risk behaviour (MRB) continues to be a global health issue. Most interventions have focused on the proximal causes of adolescent MRB such as peer or family influence, rather than targeting the wider environmental or structural context. There is increasing recognition that community mobilisation approaches could be beneficial for adolescent health. Despite this, there are gaps in the current literature, theory and implementation that would benefit from a realist approach due to the suitability of this methodology to analysing complex interventions. The objective of this study is to understand 'how, why, for whom and in what circumstances and time periods' do community mobilisation interventions work to prevent and/or reduce adolescent multiple risk beh
