DESCRIPTION:This introductory session is designed to guide participants th
 rough the foundational elements of evidence synthesis\, focusing on the e
 ssential skills for crafting research questions\, understanding review ty
 pes\, and building comprehensive search strategies. By the end of the cla
 ss\, participants will be able to: Understand Different Review Types: Lea
 rn about various types of reviews\, such as systematic reviews\, scoping 
 reviews\, and narrative reviews\, and determine which is most suitable fo
 r their research question. Craft Effective Research Questions: Utilize fr
 ameworks like PICO (Patient\, Intervention\, Comparison\, Outcome) to for
 mulate clear\, focused research questions that guide the evidence synthes
 is process. Develop a Concept Table: Map out key concepts and terms for e
 ach component of the research question to inform the search strategy. Nav
 igate Comprehensive Searching: Gain an understanding of how to build effe
 ctive search strategies using both natural language and controlled vocabu
 lary (e.g.\, MeSH\, Emtree). Learn to select appropriate databases like P
 ubMed\, Ovid Embase\, and TRIP\, and refine search strategies to minimize
  bias and ensure comprehensive coverage. Document Search Strategies: Unde
 rstand the importance of tracking search strategies and results to mainta
 in transparency and reproducibility\, including the use of search logs an
 d citation management tools like EndNote. This class is ideal for anyone 
 new to evidence synthesis\, including researchers\, students\, and clinic
 ians who are looking to strengthen their ability to conduct systematic re
 views or other types of evidence synthesis. Whether you're beginning a re
 view or refining your skills\, this session will provide the necessary to
 ols to help you get started with evidence-based research. Format: Lecture
 -style presentation with opportunities for discussion and Q&A.\n\nAdmissi
