London Evidence Syntheses and Research Use Seminars
The EPPI Centre and The Centre for Evaluation at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) jointly host the ‘London Evidence Syntheses and Research Use Seminars’. These seminars aim to encourage discussion and information-sharing on challenges and innovations in evidence syntheses methods.
The free of charge hybrid seminars are hosted in London but can be attended online. They take place every other month on a Wednesday between 12.30 and 13.45. They include 25-30 min presentations and plenty of time for discussion. Recordings of previous seminars: https://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=3317.

Session details: Meta-analysis has had an uncomfortable relationship with the need to generate evidence relevant to health inequities. Drawing on current and ongoing work, I will describe how modern meta-analytic methods can be used to address questions of relevance to health equity, drawing on evidence of intervention effectiveness to estimate how interventions are—or are not—equally effective across groups. These methods move beyond ‘one at a time’ moderator analyses to establish for whom and to what degree interventions are differentially effective.
