Drawing on the work of the Lancet Commission on Disability and Health to reveal how systematic reviews can reveal or obscure health inequities.
What does it mean to place people with disabilities at the centre of evidence synthesis?
Drawing on work from the Lancet Commission on Disability and Health, this seminar will explore how systematic reviews can reveal or obscure health inequalities. We will discuss practical challenges in defining populations, selecting outcomes, assessing heterogeneity, and interpreting evidence when data are limited or exclusion is embedded in primary research. The session will consider how researchers can strengthen equity throughout the review process: from framing research questions to translating findings into policy and practice, followed by an open discussion.
