Hi Angela
Systematic Reviews: CRD's guidance for undertaking reviews in health care is freely accessible in electronic format and available to download as a pdf from http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/index_guidance.htm
The methods and steps necessary to conduct a systematic review are presented in a core chapter (Chapter 1). Additional issues specific to reviews in more specialised topic areas, such as clinical tests (diagnostic, screening and prognostic), and public health are addressed in separate, complementary chapters (Chapters 2-3). The guidance also considers questions relating to harm (Chapter 4) costs (Chapter 5) and how and why interventions work (Chapter 6).
Best wishes
Alison
