Mixed-methods Approaches To Evidence Reviews In Europe (MASTERIE) - NEW for
2018!
2 day course - Tuesday, 3rd - Wednesday, 4th July 2018
*Background*
With increasing interest in complex social and public health interventions,
attention within the systematic review community is shifting beyond “what
works” to exploring “what works for whom under what circumstances”. Such
questions require the integration of both qualitative and quantitative data
within research projects and PhD theses. Integration can be achieved at
several points in the systematic review process; for example, through the
methodology itself (e.g. realist syntheses and critical interpretive
syntheses), through inclusion of mixed methods studies, and through
integrating separate reviews. Integration can take place when focusing the
questions, when conducting searching and quality assessment and, above all,
in the synthesis and presentation of findings. This course will examine
practical examples of integration at all these levels and stages. The
Programme Faculty will begin by taking participants through the mixed
method review process (Day One) before examining specific methods and
mechanisms for integrating quantitative and qualitative data (Day Two). The
emphasis will be on opening up a toolbox of possible approaches rather than
focusing on a single, popularised method. The course leader, Dr Andrew
Booth, has recently contributed to Cochrane and WHO guidance on mixed
methods reviews and synthesis while Fiona Campbell has wide-ranging
experience across methods and paradigms.
*Who will benefit from this course?*
- Quantitative or Qualitative Researchers who want to learn how to
synthesise qualitative research
- Systematic Reviewers who want to learn how to integrate quantitative
and qualitative data
- PhD Students in topic areas that explore complex social or health
interventions
- New researchers who want an overview of evidence synthesis/systematic
review alternatives and choices
- Quantitative and Qualitative systematic reviewers who want to update
and extend their skills and knowledge
No formal experience is required, working knowledge of standard systematic
review methods and/or quantitative or qualitative synthesis methods will be
an advantage but not essential.
* Learning outcomes*
By the end of this programme participants will be able to:
- Describe the main approaches to integrating quantitative and
qualitative data within evidence synthesis in terms of their strengths and
weaknesses
- Rehearse the stages of the systematic review process at which
integration might occur
- Articulate different mechanisms by which quantitative and qualitative
data might be synthesised
- Describe the requirements for presenting and disseminating mixed
method synthesis data
*Bookings will automatically close at 11pm on Wednesday, 27th June 2018.*
