A graphic providing information on the key health research concept that "Groups to study a particular treatment should be homogenous"
⚠️ Much health information available is unreliable - our colleagues at Cochrane Iberoamerica have developed a series of resources on key concepts of critical thinking to support #evidenceinformed decision making in health.
👉 Key concept 8: Groups to study a particular treatment should be homogenous
JBI logo and 'JBI MANUAL FOR EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS' are displayed against blue background with an abstract suggestion of ripples. The ripples evoke the JBI logo. (The JBI logo depicts a pebble ("evidence") dropping into water, symbolising the ripple effect of positive change driven by evidence.)
JBI understands that different research questions require the appraisal of different types of evidence and approaches to #EvidenceSynthesis. This is why we have developed 8 rigorous methodologies for systematic reviews, and recommend 3 methodologies external to JBI: https://ow.ly/Earr50Xoab3
