What it does not show

This is a protocol, so no data has been collected, analyzed, or reported. The planned review will only include papers in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The planned review will not assess the quality or risk of bias of the studies it includes.

Declared interests

The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

The easy way to misread this

Do not use this paper to answer questions about the state of the occupational therapy workforce. It only describes how a future review will be conducted; it contains no findings, data, or conclusions.
