systematic review study
Utilize the Guidelines for Critiquing Systematic Reviews form provided and respond to the questions giving examples from the articles(attached).
Note: For each question, a “yes” response indicates the strength of the study. If you answer “no”, this is indication of a potential problem. However, you have to determine if the answer is “not applicable” first as not all questions apply to all designs. For this form, the authors have color coded the criteria to separate out questions that apply only to systematic reviews of quantitative studies versus qualitative studies. Also a meta-analysis uses different method for data analysis as compared to a systematic review of a quantitative report.
