Scoping Review of Neuro-informed Policy and Practice

The Neuro-informed Policy and Practice Definition and Framework emerges from an extensive scoping review undertaken by researchers at The Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland, in collaboration with the Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership (TQKP).

This scoping review aims to:

  1. Establish a working definition of neuro-informed policy and practice that can be applied to different systems, workforces, and contexts.
  2. Identify the key knowledge bases and applications of neuro-informed policy and practice, with a particular focus on those relevant to children and young people.

The review was undertaken following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews methodology. Database searches of peer-reviewed academic and grey literature were performed in 2023 using the following databases: Scopus, Web of Science, APA Psycinfo via Ebscohost, Worldwidescience.org, Campbell Collaboration Online Library, ERIC, and WHO.
