Useful source for locating primary studies. 4) Cochrane database of Methodology Reviews: Cochrane reviews of methodological studies, i.e. studies examining the methodologies relating to systematic reviews (eg. bias, randomisation, etc). 5) The Cochrane Methodology register: Bibliography of primary studies relating to methodological aspects of research synthesis. 6) About the Cochrane Collaboration: Information about Review Groups, Fields, Centres, etc. Contact details provided. 7) Health Technology Assessment Database: Health Technology Assessment reports from around the world. 8) NHS Economic evaluation database: Economic evaluations of health care interventions. 20
Unit Three: Resources Required Learning Objective To be familiar with the resources required to conduct a systematic review Conducting a systematic review can be a time-consuming task. Ideally, a minimum of six months is required to complete a review (full-time). However, there will be times which are less busy, for example, when awaiting the retrieval of full-text articles. The following list outlines the requirements to complete a systematic review: Topic of relevance or interest Team of co-authors (to reduce bias) Training and support Access to/understanding of the likely users of the review Funding Time Access to electronic searching databases and the internet (for unpublished literature) Statistical software (if appropriate) Bibliographic software (eg. Endnote) Word processing software The Cochrane Collaboration software, RevMan (abbreviation for Review Manager), can be used for both the text of the review and meta-analysis, and can be downloaded for free from http://www.ccims.net/RevMan. Time Although no research has been completed on the overall time it takes to complete a health promotion or public health systematic review, we are given some insight from an analysis of 37 medicallyrelated meta-analyses 1 . The analysis by Allen and Olkin 1 found that the average hours for a review were 1139 (~6 months), but ranged from 216 to 2518 hours. The component mean times were: 588 hours Protocol development, searches, retrieval, abstract management, paper screening and blinding, data extraction and quality scoring, data entry 144 hours Statistical analysis 206 hours Report and manuscript writing 201 hours Other (administrative) There was an observed association between the number of initial citations (before exclusion criteria are applied) and the total time it takes to complete a meta-analysis. Note: The time it takes to complete a health promotion and public health review may be longer due to less standardised definitions (eg. concepts, language, terminology) for public health interventions compared to clinical interventions resulting in a larger number of citations to apply the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 21
