Meta Narrative Review - This meta-narrative review was undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team of researchers to summarise ways in which the BE is measured, and how this links to children’s health. ^[1] Principles of meta-narrative review (pragmatism, pluralism, historicity, contestation, reflexivity and peer review) are employed to ensure practicable and contextualised review outputs. ^[2] Considering the importance and the associated challenges in achieving ISA, we have conducted a meta-narrative review, in the research domains of political science, public administration, environmental and health. ^[3] Methods Systematic meta-narrative review of the literature comprising (i) a scoping review of seminal texts ( n  = 60) on case study methodology and on context, complexity and interventions, (ii) detailed review of empirical literature on case study, context and complex interventions ( n  = 71), and (iii) identifying and reviewing ‘hybrid papers’ ( n  = 8) focused on the merits and challenges of case study in the evaluation of complex interventions. ^[4] This meta-narrative review on mental health early intervention support for LGBTQ+ ​youth aimed to develop a theoretical framework to explain effective mental health support. ^[5] Using a meta-narrative reviewing study design, the aim of this concise review was to demonstrate the current evidences for surgical indications, optimal type and timing, and functional improvement from tongue-tie surgery. ^[6] To accomplish this, I employ the use of meta-narrative review to integrate discussions from cultural studies, social anthropology, sociology, musicology, neuroscience and psychology. ^[7] METHODS We undertook a meta-narrative review of the healthcare literature to capture how situation awareness has been defined, theorised and studied in healthcare. ^[8] An evidence-based meta-narrative review technique was used to review the characteristic parameters that can affect the overall behaviour of zirconia-based materials. ^[9] The aim of this meta-narrative review is to identify indigenous ethical values pertaining to the Ojibway (Canada), Xhosa (South Africa), and Mayan (Mexico and Central American) cultures from peer-reviewed sources and cultural review, and to ascertain if there are shared commonalities. ^[10] Based on a concept analysis design, a meta-narrative review was conducted to extract information from 30 occupational therapy manuscripts. ^[11] AIM The aim of this meta-narrative review was to investigate how researchers, using different methods and theoretical approaches, have contributed to the understanding of nursing work. ^[12] A content analysis and a meta-narrative review were performed. ^[13] Data extraction and synthesis The reviewers extracted data from the included studies; however, being a meta-narrative review, it was not deemed fit to contact authors for unpublished work, conduct a meta-analysis, search for unpublished data or search for studies in languages different from English, German, French and Thai. ^[14] A meta narrative review of publications, guidelines, and policy announcements regarding prostate cancer screening and diagnosis in Australia was performed. ^[15] A meta narrative review of publications, guidelines, and policy announcements regarding prostate cancer screening and diagnosis in Australia was performed. ^[16]
