We co-produced a logic model depicting diabetic eye screening programme implementation. We then used this model to inform our work on a co-produced systematic map of evidence on the implementation of diabetic eye screening in the United Kingdom and countries with similar health systems: Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. The interactive map is publicly available here.
We aimed to co-produce a tool for evaluating co-production within evidence syntheses. Participatory approaches are recommended to enhance the salience and quality of evidence syntheses, and there is an increasing onus on co-producing evidence synthesis. Co-production is a way of working where research generators, beneficiaries and other interest holders work in equal partnership and for mutual benefit.
This methods paper presents an approach to measure the utility of OpenAlex as part of undertaking a systematic review, and presents findings in the context of undertaking a systematic map on the implementation of diabetic eye screening. Procedures were developed to investigate OpenAlex's content coverage and capture, focusing on: (1) availability of relevant research records; (2) retrieval of relevant records from a Boolean search of OpenAlex (3) retrieval of relevant records from combining a PubMed Boolean search with a citations and related-items search of OpenAlex, and (4) efficient estimation of relevant records not identified elsewhere.
Alongside co-researchers with a range of expertise, our team at the London Alliance for the Co-production of Evidence Synthesis have co-produced this model for child health. It depicts factors thought to impact healthy eating, physical activity, and mental health among young people. The model is focused on schools and is designed to support public health decision makers.
