High-quality systematic reviews are foundational to evidence-based guidelines, policies, and practice in nutrition and food science. Yet, assessing the quality of systematic reviews can be subjective and difficult for someone unfamiliar with evidence synthesis methods. After this interactive, hands-on workshop, participants will be able to navigate critical components of the systematic review process, identify high-quality systematic reviews, and interpret and apply findings to inform policy, guidelines, and future research.
