Searches will be conducted of PubMed, CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCOhost), Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, and PsycINFO (Ovid). Studies will need to be published from 2000 onward in English. Gray literature will be identified through Google searches. Two reviewers will independently screen studies, extract data, and conduct critical appraisal. Quantitative data will be summarized descriptively, while qualitative data will be examined using thematic analysis. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2) tool and the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies \u2013 of Interventions, Version 2 (ROBINS-I V2). Methodological quality will be assessed using JBI critical appraisal tools. Certainty of evidence will be evaluated using the GRADE approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Review
