Oral A blueprint for international collaboration on evidence
2024 Prague [Global Evidence Summit]
Maru, Williams
"Background
Governments around the world spend trillions of dollars per year, with surprisingly little evidence about the relative efficacy of expenditure, or ‘what works’. Even where evidence does exist, it can be difficult for policymakers to find, understand, contextualise or determine the…
Oral A case study exploring youth engagement with a social media-based science communication project on cannabis and mental health
2024 Prague [Global Evidence Summit]
Coronado-Montoya
"Background: In Canadian youth (i.e., 15 to 34 years old), perceived cannabis use-related risks have decreased while cannabis use and preventable harms (e.g., cannabis-attributable hospitalizations) have increased since cannabis was legalized. Given that youth report social media as their…
Oral A citizen science approach to crowdsource decision-making for a systematic review combining human, animal, and in vitro studies
2024 Prague [Global Evidence Summit]
(STARS), Bannach-Brown, Borromeo, Fogtman, Hemmann, Lorini, Nasser, Oeztuerk, Roessler, Waldherr
Background: Crowdsourcing can support the conduct of systematic reviews. However, these approaches mainly encapsulate reviews that include one single type of study design. This project specifically focuses on engaging the public in screening of a dataset that combines 3 study designs: human, animal…

Background:
Despite recent advancements in graphical and tabular tools for summarizing Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) findings, existing options mostly rely on traditional formats, limiting their capacity to capture the extensive information offered by NMAs due to space constraints. Additionally,…
Oral A novel methodology for mapping human health impacts attributable to climate change at scale and in near real time
2024 Prague [Global Evidence Summit]
Callaghan, Minx
Background
Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. The resulting warming poses increasingly unacceptable risks to human and planetary health and therefore sustainable development. Already today, climate change severely negatively affects people’s lives around the globe. There are many…
