SUMMARY:🏆Dipping Your Toes into Evidence Synthesis: Understanding Review Types\, Crafting Research Questions\, and Basics of Comprehensive Searching
DESCRIPTION:This introductory session is designed to guide participants 
 through the foundational elements of evidence synthesis\, focusing on the 
 essential skills for crafting research questions\, understanding review 
 types\, and building comprehensive search strategies. By the end of the 
 class\, participants will be able to:\n\n\n	Understand Different Review 
 Types: Learn about various types of reviews\, such as systematic reviews\, 
 scoping reviews\, and narrative reviews\, and determine which is most 
 suitable for their research question.\n	Craft Effective Research Questions: 
 Utilize frameworks like PICO (Patient\, Intervention\, Comparison\, 
 Outcome) to formulate clear\, focused research questions that guide the 
 evidence synthesis process.\n	Develop a Concept Table: Map out key concepts 
 and terms for each component of the research question to inform the search 
 strategy.\n	Navigate Comprehensive Searching: Gain an understanding of how 
 to build effective search strategies using both natural language and 
 controlled vocabulary (e.g.\, MeSH\, Emtree). Learn to select appropriate 
 databases like PubMed\, Ovid Embase\, and Web of Science\, and refine 
 search strategies to minimize bias and ensure comprehensive 
 coverage.\n	Document Search Strategies: Understand the importance of 
 tracking search strategies and results to maintain transparency and 
 reproducibility\, including the use of search logs and citation management 
 tools like EndNote.\n\n\nThis class is ideal for anyone new to evidence 
 synthesis\, including researchers\, students\, and clinicians who are 
 looking to strengthen their ability to conduct systematic reviews or other 
 types of evidence synthesis. Whether you're beginning a review or refining 
 your skills\, this session will provide the necessary tools to help you get 
 started with evidence-based research.\n\nFormat:\nLecture-style 
 presentation with opportunities for discussion and Q&A.
