Journalists who attend this webinar will learn:

  • The difference between a study, a review, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews

  • What’s so great about systematic reviews

  • How to read a systematic review and evaluate its quality

  • What to care about in the summary of findings table

  • How to report on a systematic review to help your readers make informed health decisions

  • Cochrane's protocol for assessing health evidence and how it compares to others'.
