While the resulting study pools could be screened for in multiple languages, the search queries themselves are passed to the databases in English-language only. Relevant results are then complemented through the adoption of a 'snowballing' technique, in which an array of identified adjacent published reviews is analysed for their reference lists to find cross-references of potentially missing literature and in turn add those to the pool of studies. @@ -340,7 +340,7 @@ At least one general term and at least one additional term have to be mentioned For the policy intervention cluster, a variety of terms have been identified both from the ILO policy areas and guidelines as well as existing reviews, as can be seen in @tbl-intervention-terms.
