Instructions to facilitator<br />
1. This section is very straightforward; simply emphasise that <strong>the</strong>re are a number of resources<br />
available to assist reviewers with <strong>the</strong> systematic review process. All of <strong>the</strong> manuals available to<br />
reviewers can be obtained over <strong>the</strong> Internet. The <strong>Cochrane</strong> Reviewers’ Hand<strong>book</strong> and <strong>the</strong> CRD<br />
Report are perhaps <strong>the</strong> most useful (in addition to <strong>the</strong> training hand<strong>book</strong> provided) as a single<br />
information source on <strong>the</strong> systematic review process.<br />
2. Six months of full-time work is <strong>the</strong> minimum time required to complete a health promotion or<br />
public health review.<br />
3. Bibliographic software is essential; all reviewers need access to such software.<br />
4. Highlight that reviews should ideally be conducted by more than one reviewer, where possible.<br />
This reduces bias in many stages of <strong>the</strong> review.<br />
