How to Conduct Gold-Star Systematic Reviews

Systematic reviews are increasingly becoming the gold standard for reviewing environmental health related science. Learn from our experts at this workshop how to conduct gold standard systematic reviews.

The workshop will teach the key steps to conducting best practice systematic review, including problem identification, protocol development, study search strategy, ‘risk of bias’ assessment and evidence synthesis. Additionally, participants will learn about ‘risk of bias’ assessments and understand the important biases to consider in environmental epidemiological studies and the limitations of various tools currently used to inappropriately remove studies from a body of evidence. Finally, they will learn about conducting meta-analysis when appropriate, to inform a bottom-line and actionable summary of the evidence.

Space is limited to 30 participants.

Workshop is offered free of charge and is open to all that are interested.
