| Summary |
This book provides an overview of the nature, logic, diversity and process of undertaking systematic reviews as part of evidence informed decision making. It covers the full breadth of approaches to reviews from statistical meta analysis to meta ethnography. It is ideal for anyone undertaking their own systematic review - providing all the necessary conceptual and technical background needed to make a good start on the process. The content is divided into five clear sections: · Approaches to reviewing · Getting started · Gathering and describing research · Appraising and synthesising data · Making use of reviews/models of research use.
