#QualitativeResearch is increasingly used in #WHO #Guidelines 📚
As part of my PhD, we appraised this use and identified key areas for further development

🦟 New #Cochrane review on #Wolbachia for preventing dengue

Reflexivity statements are an important tool to promote equity in the global health research ecosystem 🌎.
We reflect on some of the emerging questions and invite your discussion!

Very pleased to continue synthesising community views on MDA programmes with @Cochrane_IDG and @TillyFox16, this time for #SoilTransmittedHelminths 🪱
Excited to seeing how the data builds on the previous #QES on #filariasis, which you can read here: tinyurl.com/yfpndy8z

It's great to see another @Cochrane_IDG #QualitiveEvidenceSynthesis #QES underway. It's so important to understand how communities respond to policies and programmes cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi…

This was the first review I started working on when I joined @Cochrane_IDG, and with 527 test evaluations included, it was quite the task!
Grateful to have worked with such a hard-working team on this project, especially @jacdinnes. Thanks everyone! 😊

A bit late to the party with retweeting this but hopefully the delay increases visibility. Very interesting review and as always each one has been a learning experience for me 1/4
