  abstract = {{B}ackground: {C}ombination prevention is currently considered the best approach to combat {HIV} epidemic. {I}t is based upon the combination of structural, behavioral, and biomedical interventions. {S}uch interventions are frequently implemented in a health-promoting manner due to their aims, the approach that was adopted, and their complexity. {T}he impact evaluation of these interventions often relies on methods inherited from the biomedical field. {H}owever, these methods have limitations and should be adapted to be relevant for these complex interventions. {T}his systematic review aims to map the evidence-based methods used to quantify the impact of these interventions and analyze how these methods are implemented. {M}ethods: {T}hree databases ({W}eb of {S}cience, {S}copus, {P}ub{M}ed) will be used to identify impact evaluation studies of health promotion interventions that aimed at reducing the incidence or prevalence of {HIV} infection. {O}nly studies based on quantitative design assessing intervention impact on {HIV} prevalence or incidence will be included. {T}wo reviewers will independently screen studies based on titles and abstracts and then on the full text. {T}he information about study characteristics will be extracted to understand the context in which the interventions are implemented. {T}he information specific to quantitative methods of impact evaluation will be extracted using items from the {M}ixed {M}ethods {A}ppraisal {T}ool ({MMAT}), the guidelines for reporting {S}tatistical {A}nalyses and {M}ethods in the {P}ublished {L}iterature ({SAMPL}), and the guidelines for {S}trengthening {T}he {R}eporting of {E}mpirical {S}imulation {S}tudies ({STRESS}). {T}his review will be conducted according to the {P}referred {R}eporting {I}tems for {S}ystematic {R}eview and {M}eta-{A}nalyses ({PRISMA}) statement. {D}iscussion: {T}he impact evaluation of {HIV} prevention interventions is a matter of substantial importance given the growing need for evidence of the effectiveness of these interventions, whereas they are increasingly complex. {T}hese evaluations allow to identify the most effective strategies to be implemented to fight the epidemic. {I}t is therefore relevant to map the methods to better implement them and adapt them according to the type of intervention to be evaluated.},
