Youth firesetting is an enduring problem that results in significant economic and personal harm. Fire safety education (FSE) is the most commonly provided intervention for youth firesetting internationally. However, no systematic review exists which synthesises the evidence base on the effectiveness of FSE as an intervention for youth firesetting. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature by conducting a systematic review of the research that examines the effectiveness of FSE interventions for young people who set fires and the quality of these evaluation studies. ProQuest Central (all databases), Dimensions, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, GoogleScholar, and the National Emergency Training Center library were searched for relevant articles. Email requests were also sent to national and international professional organizations and key professionals in the field, requesting unpublished or internal evaluations that met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (Hong et al., 2018). Twenty-three manuscripts were identified that met the inclusion criteria. All studies reported FSE interventions to show some effectiveness, however, the reliability of these findings was significantly reduced by weak methodological designs. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of FSE interventions for youth firesetting.

青少年纵火是一个长期存在的问题，会导致重大的经济和人身伤害。消防安全教育 (FSE) 是国际上针对青少年纵火最常用的干预措施。然而，目前还没有系统评价综合了 FSE 作为青少年纵火干预措施有效性的证据基础。目前的研究旨在通过对研究进行系统评价来解决文献中的这一空白，该研究检查了 FSE 干预对纵火的年轻人的有效性以及这些评估研究的质量。在 ProQuest Central（所有数据库）、Dimensions、Web of Science、PubMed、PsycINFO、GoogleScholar 和国家紧急培训中心图书馆中搜索了相关文章。还向国家和国际专业组织以及该领域的主要专业人员发送了电子邮件请求，要求进行符合纳入标准的未发表或内部评估。使用混合方法评估工具 (Hong et al., 2018) 评估每项研究的方法学质量。确定了 23 篇符合纳入标准的手稿。所有研究都报告了 FSE 干预以显示一些有效性，但是，这些发现的可靠性因方法设计薄弱而显着降低。需要进一步的研究来确定 FSE 干预对青少年纵火的有效性。使用混合方法评估工具 (Hong et al., 2018) 评估每项研究的方法学质量。确定了 23 篇符合纳入标准的手稿。所有研究都报告了 FSE 干预以显示一些有效性，但是，这些发现的可靠性因方法设计薄弱而显着降低。需要进一步的研究来确定 FSE 干预对青少年纵火的有效性。使用混合方法评估工具 (Hong et al., 2018) 评估每项研究的方法学质量。确定了 23 篇符合纳入标准的手稿。所有研究都报告了 FSE 干预以显示一些有效性，但是，这些发现的可靠性因方法设计薄弱而显着降低。需要进一步的研究来确定 FSE 干预对青少年纵火的有效性。
