Forest plot for short term illicit drug use(<12 months) by intervention level.The plot shows the data meta-analysed in intervention-level subgroups (school, family, individual, combination and universal or targeted) for the short-term (as close to 12 months post-intervention end as possible) illicit drug use outcome. Red boxes represent point estimate (odds ratio) and horizontal lines the 95% confidence intervals. Black diamonds are pooled estimates for each subgroup. Estimates above 1 (on the right-hand side of the y-axis labelled ‘favours control’) suggests a lower illicit drug use in the control group compared to the intervention group, while estimates below 1 (on the left-hand side of the y-axis labelled ‘favours intervention’ suggests lower illicit use in the intervention group compared to the control group. The overall pooled estimate was not calculated as the subgroups differ by design and a decision was made a priori to report subgroups separately
