I am doing a systematic review on palliative care and family caregivers perception, one of the articles I selected for my included studies used a 'stepped-wedge non-randomized trial design'. The Cochrane Library link did not specify any NRS for this design. I would appreciate any valuable link to this type of design for my review.
The methodological quality assessment tools for preclinical and clinical studies, systematic review and meta-analysis, and clinical practice guideline: a systematic review. The study over-viewed all quality assessment methods currently available.
And the same query was asked on ResearchGate.
Good Luck ...

@Giovanni many thanks. I have accessed the link but it did not give any specified detail
Hi, Trend check list would be useful , in my opinion; you can read the attached file.
Try the QAT tool. it is not the most user friendly but it is valid and reliable and recommended by Cochrane
