Public health policies for children and youth with special health care needs in OECD member countries and Brazil: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because public health policies lay down guidelines for health promotion in specific populations, a review of policies devised for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) can reveal the actual degree of priority assigned to this population segment, while also highlighting relevant policies in this field.

Objective

To map the available evidence of public health policies for CYSHCN in member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Brazil.

Method

A scoping review protocol was developed as per the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) manual and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses-Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist, for application to the Web of Science (WoS)
