Factors that Influence Free School Meal Uptake and Subsequent Dietary Choices in Children and Young People
We are conducting an evidence synthesis to examine the factors that influence the uptake of free school meals and the subsequent dietary choices of children and young people. Guided by the socio-ecological model, we will also explore whether increased participation in free school meal programmes is associated with improved dietary outcomes for pupils.
Wound dressing
Duration of Wound Coverage for the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections After Surgery
We are conducting an evidence synthesis to identify and describe the current research on optimal dressing duration for surgical wounds to prevent surgical site infections. This synthesis will consider whether the duration varies based on the type of dressing, wound characteristics, or surgical procedure.
Citation screening
Comparing two methods of citation screening (SWAR 1)
We are evaluating the effects of two different methods of screening citations for inclusion of articles in a systematic review: sequential screening of titles followed by abstracts of potentially eligible articles and simultaneous screening of titles and abstracts.
Communicating findings
Summaries for communicating findings (SWAR 2)
We are evaluating the impact of two different methods for summarising the findings of a systematic review on knowledge and understanding: a written summary and an audio podcast.
Systematic Review task
Measuring time taken for various systematic review tasks (SWAR 6)
We are tracking the time required to complete key tasks involved in conducting a systematic review, including screening of search results, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and time spent in project meetings and discussions.
