Additional publications and resources

In 2022, our authors and editors also:

• developed an elaboration of the TIDieR (Template for Intervention Description & Replication) checklist to encourage better reporting of vaccination communication interventions in trials. This is published in the Journal of Health Research Policy and Systems and is based on our 2021 review: Healthcare workers’ perceptions and experiences of communicating with people over 50 years of age about vaccination: a qualitative evidence synthesis.
• published a paper reflecting on how Cochrane qualitative evidence syntheses differ from reviews of intervention effectiveness and how these differences have influenced the guidance developed by the EPOC group. This is published in the International Journal of Qualitative Methods.
• hosted a webinar, with Cochrane Norway and Cochrane South Africa, presenting the findings of our 2021 review: Factors that influence parents' and informal caregivers' views and practices regarding routine childhood vaccination: a qualitative evidence synthesis
• discussed the findings of a 2021 review in a Cochrane Podcast: Paying for performance to improve the delivery of healthcare services in low- and middle-income countries
• developed search filters for MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), and CENTRAL (Cochrane Library) to help identify studies relevant to Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC).
