Description
In this activity you will select a systematic review related to either your population (P), intervention (I), or outcome (O) of interest. Explore the systematic review by answering a series of questions about the methods and findings of the study, and upload your answers here.
1. Search for and select a systematic review related to one or more components of your PICO question. What is the title of the systematic review that you chose?
2. How did you find this systematic review?
3. How did the authors of the systematic review find the studies they included in their review (e.g., databases, hand searching)?
4. Were unpublished sources or gray literature used? If so, which ones?
5. What were the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to decide which studies were ultimately included in this systematic review?
6. How many studies did the team first identify (before they started narrowing them down using their criteria)? How many did they ultimately include?
7. What is/are the “take-away” message(s) for social work practice based on this systematic review?
