The majority (65%) of interventions targeted enacted stigma (negative attitudes) and the most common intervention approach was education\/training (63%). Over half (54%) of interventions were delivered at the organisational\/institutional level, and only four studies targeted more than one social level. The most common disability targeted was epilepsy (50%) followed by intellectual impairment (20%). The majority of studies (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a018\/20, 90%) found a reduction in a component of stigma; however, most (90%) studies had a high risk of bias.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review highlights the lack of quality evidence on effective stigma\u2010reduction strategies for children with disabilities.
