Abstract	Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS) commissioned the Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services (NOKC) to conduct a systematic review about the consequences of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). The review would answer the question: What are the psychological, social and sexual consequences of FGM/C? Methods: We searched systematically for relevant literature in international scientifi c databases, in databases of international organisations that are engaged in aspects related to FGM/C, and in reference lists of relevant reviews and included studies. We also communicated with professionals working with FGM/C related issues. We selected studies according to pre-specifi ed criteria, appraised the methodological quality using checklists, and summarized the study level results using tables and calculated effect estimates (risk ratio and mean difference) in addition to performing meta-analyses to estimate effect. We applied the instrument GRADE to assess the extent to which we could have confi dence in the effect estimates. Results: We included and summarized results from 17 comparative Psychological, social and sexual consequences of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C): a systematic review of quantitative studies Report from Kunnskapssenteret (Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services) No 13–2010 Systematic review
