Event Details

Qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) is now established as a core component of evidence-based practice, as a standalone review or in combination with a quantitative systematic review. QES can contribute understandings about important aspects of context, impact and implementation that may affect intervention success. It can also help to articulate deeper understandings of the experiences, perceptions and opinions of people affected by a condition or intervention and of those that deliver interventions. One possible output of a QES or mixed methods synthesis is to inform a logic model or other conceptual framework. In this presentation, Prof Ruth Garside will describe the different types of output that may be generated, and give examples of how these have been produced and expressed.
