Hi Folks. I know that most of the interest on this listserv has been on realist methodologies. But RAMESES I was also about Meta-narrative review (MNR). Very little has come up in the discussion here about MNR. I have led two CIHR-funded
MNR projects in Canada, and am just waiting to hear if a third study will be funded. On one of these, we are trying to finish up our MNR on the harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes or vaping devices. The emphasis on contestations in the MNR methodology
has become pretty salient in this review and we are currently now writing a paper reporting on these findings. We have done a search looking for published examples of MNR but not too many have turned up. I wonder if anyone in this group can recommend or share
any published papers in which MNR was the methodology. Of course, we have the original studies by Greenhalgh et al, the standards and training materials, but only a few examples of published studies. More examples would be very helpful. Thank you so much.
