11.00 – 11.30 Systematic reviews as a research method on wellbeing
One of the advantages of systematic reviews in the current COVID-19 situation is that they do not require fieldwork and some of you may now be considering using this method as part of your research plan. This 90-minute session will provide an introduction to this method in the context of well-being.
In this workshop we will:

• Identify the key methodological characteristics of systematic reviews and where they fit in relation to other review methods such as scoping reviews and rapid reviews
• Explore the types of research questions they can be used to address
• Explore the methods and findings of a systematic review undertaken by an interdisciplinary team (spanning the humanities and social sciences) on music and singing interventions for well-being.

Prior work: In advance of the session you will need to read the following paper as the group discussion will be based on this.
