Mixed Methods Systematic Reviews

Two series of priced online expert training sessions concerning mixed methods systematic reviews, which "combine qualitative and quantitative evidence to answer complex applied health and public health questions." All times are GMT (UK time, and note that the UK doesn't leap forward to BST until 31 March, and the USA starts 3 weeks earlier, so there may be a different time difference from usual in those weeks if you are outside the UK)
1. Mixed Methods Systematic Reviews. Optional introduction. 8 March 2024 13.30-14.30 and Half-day live sessions on 12, 14, 18 & 20 March 2024 at 13.30-16.00.
Tutors: Dr Katy Sutcliffe, Dr Meena Khatwa, Dr Gillian Stokes, Dr Preethy D'Souza and Dr Michelle Richardson (UCL), Prof Joanne Greenhalgh and Judy Wright (University of Leeds), Prof Helen Elsey (University of York)
"The course is for you if you are interested in understanding how mixed-method synthesis provides a deeper understanding of complex interventions and their implementation. It is suitable for you if you already have an understanding of systematic review methods – i.e. you have had in-depth training and/or conducted a systematic review (either quantitative or qualitative) before. The course looks at purpose and value of mixed-methods systematic reviews and covers methods for synthesising qualitative and quantitative research including explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, and convergent synthesis methods including an overview of realist synthesis methods. The mixed methods course is NOT suitable for you if you are new to systematic reviews as it does not provide basic systematic review (screening, data extraction, quality assessment) or meta-analysis training. 

2. Searching the Evidence for Mixed Methods Reviews  Optional introduction 21 March 2024 13.30-14.30 and Half-day live sessions 25 & 27 March 2024 13.30-16.00
Tutors: Judy Wright and Natalie King (University of Leeds)
"The course has basic and advanced elements, some sessions are split to cater for both researchers and experienced librarians. The course covers search techniques, sources, reporting methods and reference management that are most useful in mixed methods systematic reviews. This includes: search filters, forwards & backwards citation searching, CLUSTER searching, grey and published literature sources, reporting standards, tips for tracking search activities and managing large search results in EndNote.
