Research evidence is increasingly a basis for health care practice
and policy-making. The systematic review is a tool used to avoid
bias when synthesizing the research evidence for interventions.
Systematic reviews use an explicit, systematic strategy to locate,
critically appraise, and synthesize evidence from many research
studies weighted by quality. Relatively few systematic reviews
exist for behavioral treatments. Treatments for which high-quality
evidence is insufficient cannot be determined to be effective or
ineffective. Great need exists to improve the quality and increase
the extent of the evidence base for behavioral treatments.
The seminar goal is to familiarize behavioral medicine professionals
with how to find, use and write systematic reviews. Speakers
demonstrate steps and methods taken to conduct a systematic
review (question definition, search and selection of studies,
quality rating, data analysis, addressing intervention and outcome
heterogeneity). Presenters are Joost Dekker, an experienced
reviewer for the Cochrane Collaboration; and Evelyn Whitlock, an
experienced reviewer for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
