The numbers in each cell are the sum and percentage of “yes”, “no” or “unclear” responses to questions on each stage of “problem identification”, “design & implementation”, and “evaluation”
aTotal number of questions of each principle for all included studies. For example, the number of questions of “Intersecting Categories” principle in stage of “problem identification” (n = 3), totally is 12 for four included studies
bThe checklist had no any question for the principle of “time and place” in the stage of “evaluation”
