- Be able to construct an efficient search strategy for retrieval of primary qualitative research and to select an appropriate methodology filter for qualitative studies.
- Apply explicit criteria regarding the collection and analysis of qualitative data to appraise the quality of a qualitative research report.
- Understand the main features and techniques required to conduct both of the most accessible methods of qualitative synthesis, specifically thematic synthesis and framework synthesis.
