analysis
be aware of pitfalls in meta-analysis
interpret the results of a meta-analysis
communicate the results and interpretation of an analysis
accurately
*** Who should apply? ***
The course is most suited to researchers who are undertaking, or
planning
to undertake a systematic review and require training in the last stages
of
the review process related to handling, analysing, and interpreting
data.
The main focus of the course will be on studies of effectiveness, and
the
course will be ideal for researchers preparing reviews for the Cochrane
Library. However, consideration will be given during the course to
reviews
answering other forms of research question.
*** Cost ***
The course fee is £175 for non-profit organisations and £350 for profit
organisations. This includes all materials and lunches, but no
accommodation.
