Abstract:
Objectives:
The overall goal is to present the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and to gather insight and suggestion(s) on the tool. The specific learning objectives for participants are to:
1) Become familiar with important reporting items for scoping reviews;
2) Apply the reporting checklist to a health-related scoping review;
3) Reflect on when scoping reviews are most useful as a knowledge-synthesis method.
Description:
The workshop will begin with a 30-minute presentation about the PRISMA-ScR, a reporting guideline developed by an international panel of 30 experts. The presentation will be interactive, and include 3 rounds of questions and comments from participants (one at each 10-minute interval). A 45-minute small group exercise will be conducted where participants (working in groups of 5-10 people) will apply the PRISMA-ScR checklist to a scoping review on a health-related topic. Facilitators will circulate each group to provide direction and assistance. A group discussion will follow to engage participants about the quality of the reporting of the selected scoping review according to the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The final 30 minutes will be used to gather insight and suggestions for improvement on the PRISMA-ScR checklist from the participants. Interested participants will be asked to fill out a survey to provide additional feedback. An evaluation form will also be distributed to collect suggestions to improve future workshops.
