Dealing with mixed methods and individual datasets in evidence syntheses
Tips & Tricks seminar series on Evidence Synthesis
The Centre for Evaluation is inviting you to the fourth and final seminar of its series ‘Tips & Tricks on Evidence Synthesis’. This series includes 4 seminars held every other Wednesday from 16 June to 11 August 2021 at 12.30 - 13.45 BST. Eight systematic review experts present their work and share their experience on challenges and opportunities when embarking on complex evidence synthesis efforts. All key classic evidence synthesis ‘steps’ will be covered, from searching the literature to synthesising and presenting results. The series aims to support those who are currently involved in or willing to undertake an evidence synthesis piece of work.
For this last seminar, we will host two speakers from the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre (EPPI-Centre), UCL Social Research Institute:
- Dr Mukdarut Bangpan will discuss lessons from conducting a mixed methods review on mental health and psychosocial support programmes for populations affected by humanitarian crises
- Dr Dylan Kneale will present a review and meta-analysis of individual participant datasets to explore inequalities in health among older LGBT people in the UK.
