Applicability of the evidence to LMICs

Review	Were some or all of the studies included in the systematic review conducted in LMICs or were the findings in the review consistent across settings or time periods and therefore suggest wide applicability? [Proportion of studies conducted in LMICs]	Are there important differences in on-the-ground realities and constraints in LMICs that might substantially alter the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention (where applicable) or raise questions about the applicability of the review findings?	Are there important differences in health system arrangements that may mean an intervention could not work in the same way in LMICs or review findings may not be applicable to LMICs?
Abdullahi et al., 2016 [39]	Yes [18/18]	Likely no	Largely not applicable
Badawy et al., 2017 [40]	No1	Likely yes	Yes
Ferrer et al., 2014 [41]2	No	Likely yes	Likely yes
Fu et al., 2014 [4]2	Yes [2/33]	Likely yes	Likely yes

¹The review includes one study from a LMIC; however, this study does not focus on HPV

²Difficult to assess due to inadequate reporting of the results

³Did not intend to include studies from LMICs
