Agenda:
This webinar, part of the Cochrane Rapid Reviews & Learning Live webinar series, focuses on rapid qualitative evidence synthesis (rQES), increasingly used to explore acceptability of interventions and barriers to implementation. Speeding up how we plan, do and/or share the results of QES, by simplifying or omitting review procedures, can be particularly challenging given the iterative nature of synthesis methods and the interpretative nature of that synthesis and analysis.

This webinar rehearses important considerations when planning and conducting an rQES before outlining a variety of approaches used to tackle these challenges. The presenter, Professor Andrew Booth, brings together current thinking from the Rapid Reviews Group with insights drawn from over a decade as a current convenor of the Cochrane Qualitative and Implementation Methods Group.
