Rationale and choice of methodology Sample Clauses

Rationale and choice of methodology. As described in Chapter 1, it is known that people with SMI have a substantially reduced life expectancy and T2DM rates are also higher among this population. Anti-psychotic medications may play a part in this; however, a higher prevalence of diabetes among people with SMI has been noticed even before these medicines are started.

(2018) produced the above table to detail the requirements for each type of review. I will however focus on systematic and scoping types. When first considering what review is appropriate, one would need to determine exactly what question is being asked and the overall purpose of the review. Also of consideration, is whether or not the results will answer a clinically meaningful question or provide evidence to inform practice. If the research question is addressing the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness or effecti...
