Ruth Turley (DECIPHer), Dr Beki Langford (DECIPHer), Dr Ruth Jepson (SCPHRP), Dr Sarah Brennan (CoEfPHNI)
11.00, Wednesday 10 July. Hospitality Suite 65, level 5
Undertaking public health systematic reviews can be daunting! The complex, often multi-disciplinary, nature of interventions, together with a broad scope of relevant outcomes and study designs, presents challenges for identifying and synthesising key evidence in a useful way.
This workshop will provide an open forum to discuss and share lessons learned, in order to help identify and address potential pitfalls in the review process. Researchers, using examples from their own work, will also present three short talks on their personal experiences of undertaking systematic reviews and practical tips that have helped them:
· My first systematic review and how I survived it (Dr Beki Langford)
· Systematic reviews of qualitative evidence (Dr Ruth Jepson)
· Using logic models to guide the review process and communicate findings (Ruth Turley)
The workshop is suitable for those new to systematic reviews along with more experienced reviewers interested in emerging methodologies in the field.
