Highlights
- The topic area for this review protocol is interventions designed to foster success among girls and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
- Reviews of causal studies in this topic area determined the quality of existing causal evidence on programs to encourage interest among girls and young women in pursuing education and careers in STEM fields and to foster success among women in STEM fields (referred to collectively as Women in STEM). CLEAR reviewed all identified causal studies.
