Keeping bias in check: an introduction to systematic reviews - Professor Peter Bower
This session is being carried out as part of STAND-Indonesia; an NIHR funded global health research group on sustainable care for depression/anxiety in Indonesia.
Professor Peter Bower currently leads the Centre for Primary Care and Health Services Research, which is part of the NIHR School for Primary Care Research. His research focuses on mental health, multimorbidity, and the evaluation of innovations in health service delivery.
In this introductory session, he will explore:
• What is a systematic review? How does it differ from other types of review?
• What are the key stages in a review? What are the key issues at each stage?
• How we can use systematic reviews to increase the availability and accessibility of evidence-based treatments?
Our project builds on strong partnerships between the University of Manchester, the University of Indonesia and Manchester Metropolitan University. It directly addresses two research priorities identified through collaboration with local Indonesian community groups. It is supported by the Indonesia Workforce Council at the Ministry of Health, and the Directors of Mental Health and Primary Care in Indonesia. Our group aims to improve health and productivity in Indonesia by increasing the availability and accessibility of evidence-based treatments for adults living with anxiety and depression.
The session will take place online, via Zoom. Please register via Google Forms.
