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 />
