Mind the gap: Use of evidence in commentaries on MMR in professional journals (1988–2007)
Objective: We describe a series of nested life course models that correspond to the critical period, accumulation, and social mobility models and test them simultaneously, on multiple CVD risk factors in, a large cohort study. Design: Prospective birth cohort study. Setting: England
Publication bias in qualitative research: What becomes of qualitative research presented at conferences
BACKGROUND: Less than half of studies presented at conferences remain unpublished two years later, and these studies differ systematically from those that are published. In particular, the unpublished studies are less likely to report statistically significant findings, and this introduces publication bias. This has been well documented for quantitative studies, but has never been explored in relation to qualitative research. METHODS: We reviewed…
Interventions to promote walking: Systematic review
Profits before people”? A systematic review of the health and safety impacts of privatising public utilities and industries in developed countries
Debates on government privatisation policies have often focused on the alleged effects of privatisation on health and safety. A systematic review (through Quality of Reporting of Meta-analysis) of the effects of privatising industries and utilities on the health (including injuries) of employees and the public was conducted. The data sources were electronic databases (medical, social science and economic), bibliographies and expert contacts. Expe…
Does ‘welfare-to-work’ work? A systematic review of the effectiveness of the UK's welfare-to-work programmes for people with a disability or chronic illness
Systematic reviews of health effects of social interventions: 1. Finding the evidence: how far should you go?: Table 1
Most of the evidence needed for this review was not found in studies indexed in familiar literature databases. Applying a sensitive search strategy across multiple databases and interfaces is very labour intensive. Retrospective analysis suggests that a more efficient method might have been to search a few key resources, then to ask authors and experts directly for the most robust reports of studies identified. However, internet publications and …
Systematic reviews of health effects of social interventions: 2. Best available evidence: how low should you go
Unthinking adherence to a hierarchy of study design as a means of selecting studies may reduce the value of evidence synthesis and reinforce an "inverse evidence law" whereby the least is known about the effects of interventions most likely to influence whole populations. Producing generalisable estimates of effect sizes is only one possible objective of evidence synthesis. Mapping the available evidence and uncertainty about effects may also be …
Promoting walking and cycling as an alternative to using cars: Systematic review
New Roads and Human Health: A Systematic Review
We sought to synthesize evidence of the health effects of construction of new roads by systematically reviewing observational studies of such effects. We included and critically appraised 32 studies. The review suggested that out-of-town bypasses decrease injuries on main roads through or around towns, although more robust evidence is needed on effects on secondary roads. New major urban roads have statistically insignificant effects on injury in…
