Online Workshop on Basic Workshop on Systematic Review of Qualitative Research

Evidence synthesis research method is a key criterion for decision making. Traditional systematic review methods for comparative effectiveness of interventions have been debated for using the strict inclusion criteria with only RCT and not taking consideration of the context in which the intervention works. From a policy maker’s point of view finding a generalization solution for a real life problem  becomes difficult. Therefore, qualitative studies and reviews of qualitative studies can play an important role to study the context or the phenomena by taking the various perspectives of the users into account.

The workshop is designed to provide an introduction to the principles of conducting,interpreting and critically appraising qualitative studies and evidence syntheses.
