"We conducted a rapid review following the guidance from Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group [] and reported our findings based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement []. The review was registered with the PROSPERO registry of systematic reviews (registration number CRD42021235383). Rapid reviews are time-efficient, effective, streamlined, pragmatic methods to synthesis previous findings and evidence []. In this case, a rapid review was conducted as there was a narrow research question and a short-time frame in which to complete the review. The review also followed guidance set by the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) on reviewing and reporting of health measurement instruments []. Introduction:: Robust measures of integration are essential for assessment of the development, design and implementation of integration within healthcare systems. This review aimed to identify measurement instruments for integration within children and young people’s (CYP) healthcare systems (PROSPERO registration number CRD42021235383)."
