Webinar: Exploring the Role of Qualitative Evidence Synthesis (QES) in Implementation Trials and WHO Guideline Updates
September 24th - 9 AM - 10 AM (Norwegian time)
Language: English
Where: Zoom
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming webinar hosted by Cochrane Norway! Join us as we delve into using a Qualitative Evidence Synthesis (QES) to inform an implementation trial and WHO guideline update, a topic that is not only timely but also crucial in our field. Associate Professor Meghan Bohren, the head of the Gender and Women’s Health Unit, Nossal Institute for Global Health, University of Melbourne, and Co-Director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Women’s Health, will be our esteemed speaker. She leads primary mixed-methods, implementation research and systematic reviews related to improving women’s experiences with pregnancy and childbirth care, and works primarily with groups who are disadvantaged by systems of power. She has a particular interest in using innovative qualitative research methods to bring community and health worker voices to public health and clinical guideline development. She will present how the QES informed the development of the E-MOTIVE trial (which demonstrated a 60% reduction in Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH)), and triggered an immediate rapid update of the WHO guideline (within 6 months from trial results to guideline publication).

In this workshop we will introduce the Cochrane Qualitative MEthodological LimitatiOns Tool (CAMELOT). We will discuss how it was developed, introduce the CAMELOT domains and go through a worked example of applying CAMELOT. Participants will then have the opportunity to work in small groups and practice applying CAMELOT to a primary study. We will then discuss any questions or challenges that arise when applying CAMELOT.

Missing Nordic Trials: how can we avoid research waste, and meet ethical standards?
Language: English
A total of 475 clinical studies completed in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden between 2016 and 2019 have never published their results in any form. A total of 83,903 people participated in these studies, according to public records. The report, prepared by an international group of 39 researchers, was released on February 6, 2024. It showed that across all five countries, 22% of all clinical study results were never published. There are large differences in reporting performance between institutions.
