This course, organised by Cochrane Australia, covers the steps involved in conducting systematic reviews of primary qualitative research following Cochrane methods. It is aimed at reviewers working on systematic reviews of qualitative evidence.

It will introduce and detail Qualitative evidence synthesis (QES): what it is, how its findings can be applied, methodological steps in conducting a QES and how to assess and describe the level of confidence to place in QES findings (GRADE-CERQual approach). The GRADE-CERQual approach is now recommended for all Cochrane qualitative evidence syntheses.
