SUMMARY:🏆Dipping Your Toes into Evidence Synthesis: Understanding Review Types\, Crafting Research Questions\, and Basics of Comprehensive Searching
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis 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\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	\n\n\n\n\n\n	\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	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n	Develop a Concept Table: Map out key concepts and 
 terms for each component of the research question to inform the search 
 strategy. \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n	\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 TRIP\, and 
 refine search strategies to minimize bias and ensure comprehensive 
 coverage. \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n	\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\n\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.
