dc.description.abstractPolicymakers, researchers, and practitioners are increasingly likely to value systematic reviews. However, the quality of systematic reviews varies widely. This workshop will (a) describe the history and logic of systematic reviewing and meta-analysis, (b) demonstrate the ways in which systematic reviews provide a better method for assessing what a body of evidence reveals about the relationships under study, and (c) walk participants through a simple meta-analysis. The workshop will conclude with a core list of questions that can be asked of any systematic review to assess its quality.
