Applicant(s) will partner with international tobacco control colleagues, in-country/regional organizations and governments and leverage other resources as available to most effectively meet the above goal. | |
| Volume 3: Reporting of Systematic Reviews of Micronutrients and Health: A Critical Appraisal (March 2009). |
| Background: The quality of nutrition-related systematic reviews (SR) is an unstudied but important factor affecting their usefulness. Objective: To evaluate reporting quality of published SRs and identify areas for improvement. Design: Descriptive and exploratory analyses of reporting quality (7 nutrition items and 28 SR reporting items) of all English-language SRs published through July 2007 linking micronutrients and health outcomes in humans. Factors that may to be associated with the reporting quality were also evaluated. | |
| Volume 2: Issues and Challenges in Conducting Systematic Reviews to Support Development of Nutrient Reference Values: |
| “…..Nutrient reference values have significant public health and policy implications. Given the importance of defining reliable nutrient reference values, there is a need for an explicit, objective, and transparent process to set these values. The Tufts Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center assembled a group of nutrition experts from academic institutions and federal government agencies, led participants in discussions, conducted exercises in formulating questions and evidence review criteria that would be amenable to systematic reviews of the scientific literature, performed a literature search on the questions to identify potentially relevant publications, and identified challenges and limitations of applying this method to support the development of nutrient reference values, using vitamin A as an example. | |
