This course will prepare students to write a systematic review. The purpose of a systematic review is to find as much research as possible that is relevant to particular research questions, and use explicit methods to identify what can reliably be said on the basis of this studies. Such reviews synthesize research findings in a form which is easily accessible to those who may use it to make policy or practice decisions. In this way, systematic reviews reduce the bias which may occur in reviewing research evidence.
