Hi Alanna!
What study designs will this synthesis project be looking at? We list a few different tools depending on the design in question: https://uottawa.libguides.com/systematicreview/evaluating
Anecdotally my users seem to favour AMSTAR for SRs, RoB 2 (Cochrane Risk of Bias tool) for RCTs and Ottawa-Newcastle or ROBINS-1 for non-randomized studies.
Best,
Sarah

Attention : courriel externe | external email
Hi All,
Could anyone recommend a risk of bias tool that you or a team you've consulted with has used in a knowledge synthesis project?
I am looking for a balance between thoroughness and labour intensity.
Best,
Alanna
