We have undertaken systematic reviews in the area of health
promotion. Rather than lose valuable information about health
needs, pilot studies and acceptability we have chosen not to use
filters for trials. Instead we searched for references on the
health topic we are interested in and then waded through printed
abstracts - a productive but tedious process! I would certainly
be interested if you hear of a more efficient method.
