“The papers discuss how qualitative evidence syntheses can be a powerful means of improving the relevance of guidelines, how they can help to integrate the views and experiences of all types of stakeholders – including groups who may not be otherwise represented in the decision-making process – and how they are also a useful source of information for implementation,” explains Claire Glenton, a Cochrane EPOC editor who led one of the papers. “They also highlight a number of issues for further development.”
