Learn to plan, conduct, or update a systematic review of qualitative evidence Qualitative Evidence Syntheses (QESs) are an increasingly important type of systematic review and a valuable tool for global and local decision-making. Their value as a method for systematically bringing together, assessing and synthesizing qualitative research has made them a crucial part of the industry-standard Cochrane and Campbell Reviews. There is an urgent and as-of-yet unmet need for a QES handbook which equips Cochrane and Campbell review authors with the most appropriate tools, processes, and methods required to conduct robust and trusted QESs. The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis meets this need with a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to conducting Cochrane and Campbell-standard QES. Informed by the knowledge and experience of the Cochrane Qualitative and Implementation Methods Group (QIMG) and members of the Campbell Methods Group, the Cochrane-Campbell Handbook arms review authors with everything they need to conduct qualitative evidence syntheses. The Handbook includes new guidance and evidence-informed tools that make a critical contribution to the ever more important field of evidence synthesis. Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis readers will also find: Peer-reviewed chapters covering key review processes and methods written by a group of highly experienced qualitative and mixed methods researchers and review authorsDetailed discussion of additional topics including integrating the findings of a QES with an intervention effects review, public and professional involvement in QESs, equity, diversity and inclusion, reflexivity, how to peer review and report a QESValuable information and guidance to complement to Cochrane's robust training program (https://training.cochrane.org)The Cochrane-Campbell Handbook for Qualitative Evidence Synthesis is ideal for researchers and reviewers, including trainers, Cochrane and Campbell editors, guideline groups, including WHO and NICE, and all those who wish to understand, critique or use systematic reviews which include qualitative evidence.
