Abstract
Objectives: To understand how to:
1. incorporate equity considerations into systematic reviews;
2. report equity considerations completely and transparently.
Description: Equity is defined as the absence of avoidable differences in health outcomes. Guidance for conducting and reporting equity-relevant and equity-focused systematic reviews is available. We have defined these reviews as those that assess the effects of interventions targeted at disadvantaged or at-risk populations, or assess the effects of interventions aimed at reducing social gradients across populations or among subgroups of the population.
We will introduce participants to the 10 steps for conducting equity-relevant reviews and the 20 items that should be reported for these reviews. We will briefly introduce the five questions to consider when planning a knowledge translation strategy for an equity-relevant review.
We will divide participants into small groups and discuss the methods available for considering equity as included in examples of systematic reviews. This workshop will allow participants to develop their skills in equity methods so that they may consider adding equity to their next systematic review.
