CBT outcome study was used, the Cochrane Central register of controlled trials (CENTRALL , MEDLINE, PsychINFO, and Dissertation abstract electronic database were searched between a certain year.	They used a system called the preferred reporting items for systematic review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). They assessed 28 studies for quality using several criteria for example.
*Sample/Setting* The number and characteristics of patients, attrition rate, etc.	Sample size was from 30 to 4133 participants, with a total of 10, 654 across all studies. The mean age is from 12.9 to 22 years. 31 percent where on school based program, , 22% on a community based program, and 475 on an intervention delivered in a hospital setting.		1305 adolescents
*Major Variables Studied* List and define dependent and independent variables	Major variable includes
*Measurement* Identify primary statistics used to answer clinical questions
*Data Analysis* Statistical or qualitative findings	Effect size where calculated using Cohen’s d or phi. Cohen d is calculated by subtracting the mean intervention (Mi) score from the mean control score (Mc) and dividing by the pool standard deviation.
*Findings and Recommendations* General findings and recommendations of the research
*Appraisal* Describe the general worth of this research to practice. What are the strengths and limitations of study? What are the risks associated with implementation of the suggested practices or processes detailed in the research? What is the feasibility of use in your practice?
