How to conduct evidence synthesis for health services intervention
How to conduct evidence synthesis for health services intervention
Synopsis: This book is designed to be a guide for evidence synthesis researchers who want to conduct evidence synthesis for health services interventions (HSI). However, those who are naïve to systematic review may find it useful as the book is divided into two parts: 1) the overview of evidence synthesis, and 2) how to conduct evidence synthesis for HSI. The content in part 2 provides details of each step in systematic review that are specific to HSI from question formulation to analysis. The concept and application of the TIP framework to characterize HSI is the highlight of this book. The final chapter describes the current/ongoing works and the author’s opinion on what should be improved to enhance the quality of evidence synthesis for HSI.
