Natural experiments can leverage longitudinal population-level datasets to provide insight into how large-scale events, such as minimum wage increase, impact individual, family, and community well-being. Although definitive causal inference is limited by the lack of randomization and potential for alternative explanations, confidence in attributing effects to interventions or events can be supported by statistical approaches, careful determination of comparison groups, and consideration of alternative explanations. Our scientific premise is that family and caregiver well-being can be studied in new ways by leveraging existing population-level datasets through natural experiments. We propose a first step toward implementing natural experiment approaches to study family well-being outcomes by systematically searching for then mapping the literature on natural experiments that use large, longitudinal population-level datasets to study family well-being in the global context. Our search concept can be applied to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Population/Concept/Context (PCC) Framework as follows: Population: family Concept: natural experimentation using longitudinal population-level datasets to examine well-being Context: globally Eligibility Criteria Inclusion criteria include studies that use natural experiment approaches and longitudinal population-level datasets to study family well-being outcomes. The date range for included articles is 1960 to the present. Articles not published in English will be excluded. Sources of Evidence Databases include Medline(Ovid), Embase, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Library, APA PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection. We will also search the grey literature, including societies, professional associations, and other sources. Charting Methods We will independently chart data from our included studies using key items identified in the JBI Manual including: author(s), year of publication, country, aims/purpose, population/sample size, methods, data source, event and/or intervention type, family well-being measure(s), outcomes, and other key findings. |
