The search period was from database establishment to April 2, 2023. The Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guideline was used to evaluate the methodological quality and measurement characteristics of assessment tools, and integrate the evaluation results to form recommendations.Results:Six studies were included in total. The recommended opinions for the two evaluation tools (Needs of Children Questionnaire and Male Adolescent Health Needs-Assessment Scale) were A level.

The Male Adolescent Health Needs-Assessment Scale had high cultural specificity.Conclusions:The evidence quality of the Needs of Children Questionnaire is relatively high and can be temporarily recommended for use, but other measurement characteristics still need further verification.
