Webinar: Realist Reviews and Syntheses: What are they and where do I start?

Lancaster University Library has organised a Systematic Review Conversations event on 13 January 2022 1pm - 2pm UK time (GMT): Realist Reviews and Syntheses: What are they and where do I start? The presenter is Professor Andrew Booth (School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR), University of Sheffield) who is a long-time expert in systematic review.
"Realist reviews (also known as realist syntheses) have witnessed a dramatic and sustained rise in popularity since first being advanced in 2004. Methods for systematic reviews of effectiveness hold limited capacity to gather and analyse evidence on why and under what circumstances interventions are effective. Realist reviews address this challenge by presenting evidence from diverse sources, selected according to relevance and rigour, to explore how a complex intervention works, for whom and under what circumstances."
The event is online via MS Teams and booking is required https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/library/events/realist-reviews-and-syntheses-what-are-they-and-where-do-i-start
