Abstract

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To identify and assess the effects of computer and mobile technology interventions designed to facilitate medication adherence and disease management in individuals with thalassemia, including: evaluating the effects of using computer and mobile technology interventions for medication adherence and disease management on health and behavioural outcomes; identifying and assessing the effects of computer and mobile technology interventions specific to different age groups (children, adolescents and adults) and type of modality (e.g. cell phone, the Internet).

and weekly searches of MEDLINE. Unpublished work is identified by searching the abstract books of five major conferences: the European Haematology Association conference; the American Society of Hematology conference; the British Society for Haematology Annual Scientific Meeting; the Caribbean Public Health Agency Annual Scientific Meeting (formerly the Caribbean Health Research Council Meeting); and the National Sickle Cell Disease Program Annual Meeting. For full details of all searching activities for the register, please see the relevant section of the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis and Genetic Disorders Group’s website. In addition to the above, we will conduct a search of the following databases:· • CENTRAL, Other Reviews (DARE) and Technology Assessments (HTA) Databases (the Cochrane Library, current issue) (www.cochranelibrary.com/); • PubMed (Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other NonIndexed Citations, for recent records not yet added to MEDLINE) (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez); • MEDLINE (OvidSP, Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE Daily and Ovid MEDLINE, 1946 to present); • Embase (OvidSP, 1974 to present); • CINAHL (EBSCOHost, 1937 to present); • PsycInfo (EBSCOHost, 1900 to present); • ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global (ProQuest, 1861 to present); • Web of Science & Social Sciences Conference Proceedings Indexes (CPSI-S & CPSSI, 1990 to current); • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Explore (IEEE Xplore, 1963 to present) Additionally, we will search the following trial databases for trials: • ISRCTN registry (www.isrctn.com/); • ClinicalTrials.gov (www.ClinicalTrials.gov); • World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) Search Portal (apps.who.int/ trialsearch/).
