Objective: i) assess the quality of studies that have evaluated different interventions for the prevention of FGM/C and ii) describe the FGM/C interventions that were evaluated by high quality studies.
Study Population: relied on literature
Findings: In general,the body of evidence from January 1,2000 through August 31,2016 produced by studies investigating the impact of interventions to end FGM/C is of low quality.
