Realist review: a theory-driven systematic review of complex interventionsunder realism philosophy by Jun-Qiang ZHAO

“…By integrating relevant research evidence or documents, researchers look for the potential context-mechanism-outcome configurations and the recurrent patterns of program functioning, namely demi-regularities. Researchers iteratively test, refute and refine the candidate program theories, and obtain a deeper theoretical understanding of complex interventions and provide contextual recommendations for policy makers or clinical practitioners. …”
