Abstract

Background: In many countries, national, regional and local inter- and intra-agency collaborations have been introduced to improve health outcomes. Evidence is needed on the effectiveness of locally developed partnerships which target changes in health outcomes and behaviours. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of interagency collaboration between local health and local government agencies on health outcomes in any population or age group. Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Public Health Group Specialised Register, AMED, ASSIA, CENTRAL, CINAHL, DoPHER, EMBASE, ERIC, HMIC, IBSS, MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, OpenGrey, PsycINFO, Rehabdata, Social Care Online, Social Services Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, TRoPHI andWeb of Science from 1966 through to January 2012. ’Snowballing’ methods were used, including expert contact, citation tracking, website searching and reference list follow-up. Selection criteria: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCTs), controlled before-and-after studies (CBAs) and interrupted time series (ITS) where the study reported individual health outcomes arising from interagency collaboration between health and local government agencies compared to standard care. Studies were selected independently in duplicate, with no restriction on population subgroup or disease. Data collection and analysis: Two authors independently conducted data extraction and assessed risk of bias for each study.
