DESCRIPTION:Registration is required\, visit RSVP link above for more even
 t information. This introductory session is designed to guide participant
 s through the foundational elements of evidence synthesis\, focusing on t
 he essential skills for crafting research questions\, understanding revie
 w types\, and building comprehensive search strategies. By the end of the
  class\, participants will be able to: Understand Different Review Types:
  Learn about various types of reviews\, such as systematic reviews\, scop
 ing reviews\, and narrative reviews\, and determine which is most suitabl
 e for their research question. Craft Effective Research Questions: Utiliz
 e frameworks like PICO (Patient\, Intervention\, Comparison\, Outcome) to
  formulate clear\, focused research questions that guide the evidence syn
 thesis process. Develop a Concept Table: Map out key concepts and terms f
 or each component of the research question to inform the search strategy.
  Navigate Comprehensive Searching: Gain an understanding of how to build 
 effective search strategies using both natural language and controlled vo
 cabulary (e.g.\, MeSH\, Emtree). Learn to select appropriate databases li
 ke PubMed\, Ovid Embase\, and TRIP\, and refine search strategies to mini
 mize bias and ensure comprehensive coverage. Document Search Strategies: 
 Understand the importance of tracking search strategies and results to ma
 intain transparency and reproducibility\, including the use of search log
 s and citation management tools like EndNote. This class is ideal for any
 one new to evidence synthesis\, including researchers\, students\, and cl
 inicians who are looking to strengthen their ability to conduct systemati
 c reviews or other types of evidence synthesis. Whether you're beginning 
 a review or refining your skills\, this session will provide the necessar
 y tools to help you get started with evidence-based research. Format: Lec
 ture-style presentation with opportunities for discussion and Q&A.\n\nAdm
