Session details: In this talk Dr Heather Munthe-Kaas from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health will introduce the CochrAne qualitative MEthodological LimitatiOns Tool (CAMELOT). CAMELOT is a evidence based and consensus driven approach that facilitates the application of qualitative principles to assess methodological limitations of qualitative research. While it can be applied to any primary qualitative study, it was developed to be used especially within the context of QES and GRADE-CERQual. Participants will be provided with an overview of the tool as well as an opportunity to gain experience applying it. The learning objectives for this session are (1) becoming familiar with CAMELOT and (2) gain practical experience applying CAMELOT.
