Mapping Evidence on Road Safety Information Management Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: Scoping Review Protocol

Résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Background Road safety information management systems (RSIMS) play a vital role in improving road safety in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by providing reliable and timely data and information for evidence-based decision making. However, little is known about RSIMS in SSA. Objective The objective of this scoping review is to map the extent and type of evidence on RSIMS in Sub-Saharan Africa. Inclusion criteria This review will include sources that report on the application of RSIMS in SSA. The source of information that have considered the use of electronic data systems or software related to any aspects of the road safety management will be included irrespective of their designs or methods. Sources that focused on other populations, concepts, or context will be excluded. Methods A comprehensive search of published studies in electronic databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Embase, PubMed, RSKC, ARSO, Lens, and in the sources of grey literature will be carried out to identify relevant sources of information reported in English from 2019 onwards. A scoping review will be performed based on the JBI frameworks using Parsifal platform. Reviewers will independently screen the sources for eligibility, extract data using a JBI-adapted tool, analyze data using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results will be presented in tables, figures, diagrams, and a narrative summary. Registration details This protocol for this scoping review has been registered on OSF, https://osf.io/6e2mx/ .
