Data for systematic review on interversions reducing car use

This dataset contains search strategies, bibliographic information and data synthesis performed for a systematic literature review to provide a comprehensive and unbiased summary of the available evidence concerning car use-reducing interventions employed and their effectiveness. ‘Intervention’, for this study purposes, is defined as “any policy, program, or environmental change (physical and/or social) used to promote specific health behaviours or goals.” (Lakerveld et al., 2020 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodpol.2020.101873). The systematic review, structured using the PRISMA protocol and registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under reg. no. #CRD42020156636, was published in the Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment  Volume 131, 2024 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2024.104217)

The study was conducted within the Policy Evaluation Network project (PEN, https://www.jpi-pen.eu), funded by the Joint Programming Initiative “A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life”, a research and innovation initiative of EU member states and associated countries.
