In this section of the learning institute, participants will define the initial steps for preparing to conduct a systematic review. The first step in preparation is searching for existing systematic reviews on the topic to identify gaps in knowledge and determine if the topic is eligible for a systematic review. Once it has been determined that the topic is eligible, participants will then learn how to design a systematic review protocol, complete with formulating an answerable question and defining inclusion and exclusion criteria. And finally, once the protocol has been established, participants will identify the steps and resources necessary protocol registration and explain the reasoning behind registering.

Learning Areas:

Public health or related education
Public health or related research
Social and behavioral sciences

Learning Objectives:
Describe how to find existing systematic reviews. Demonstrate ability to formulate an answerable question. Formulate inclusion and exclusion criteria for use in systematic reviews.
