Mixed Methods Systematic Reviews – Days 2 and 3, 1-2nd April 2020
Dr Katy Sutcliffe (EPPI-Centre, UCL), Dr Helen Elsey (U of York) Dr Joanne Greenhalgh (U of Leeds) & Judy Wright deliver lectures and practical sessions covering: The purpose and value of mixed-methods systematic reviews| Methods for synthesising qualitative and quantitative research including explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, and convergent synthesis methods including an overview of realist synthesis methods
The course is for you if you are interested in understanding how mixed-method synthesis provides a deeper understanding of complex interventions and their implementation. It is suitable for you if you already have an understanding of systematic review methods – i.e. you have had in-depth training and/or conducted a systematic review (either quantitative or qualitative) before. The mixed methods course is not suitable for you if you are new to systematic reviews as it does not provide basic systematic review or meta-analysis training.
You can attend all three days, or just the mixed methods course or the evidence search workshop. See course website for fees and further details: https://medicinehealth.leeds.ac.uk/dir-record/short-courses/958/mixed-methods-systematic-review-and-searching-the-evidence

These interactive workshops will be in-depth, engaging sessions structured around active participation and active learning. These sessions should be on a specific topic that is relevant to health libraries.
Abstracts
Authors are asked to rank how they would prefer to present their work: as a paper, poster, or lightning talk. Abstracts not accepted to a first choice will be considered for second or third choices. Please note that interactive workshops are their own unique type of submission and cannot be ranked along with papers, posters or lightning talks.
