Recognizing the need for evidence to inform public health officials and health care workers in the U. S. government and low- and middle-income country governments on efficient, effective behavior change policies, strategies, and programs for child health and development, the U. S. government convened the Evidence Summit on Enhancing Child Survival and Development in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries by Achieving Population-Level Behavior Change. ⋯ Members of the evidence review teams were invited to add relevant articles not identified in the initial literature review to complete the bibliographies. Details of the search processes and methods used for screening and quality reviews are described. The evidence review teams were asked to comply with a specific evaluation framework for recommendations on practice and policy on the basis of both expert opinion and the quality of the data reviewed.
