In line with research questions, a data extraction form was developed and progressively refined in consultation with the research team (see Appendix 3). Extracted information included: bibliometric study identifiers, study objectives, designs and methods, conceptualization of men, description of the intervention, programme or service, and theory of change (ToC) and study findings with respect to men. If no ToC was explicitly stated, we extracted relevant quotes referring to underlying assumptions and/or desired pathways of change. The data extraction process was piloted by two reviewers using a sample of five included studies. Inconsistencies and disagreements were addressed through discussion until a consensus was reached. All data was extracted into Excel 2016; summary tables and charts of the data were prepared via this software as well.
