I am doing my research a systematic review and based on my research question I cannot use a randomised control trial. Most of the studies I have are cross sectional studies, a few secondMary analysis and case control. I planned to use CASP for quality assessment but CASP doesnt have a checklist for Cross sectional studies, EPHPP tool grades cross sectional studies as weak. JBI checklist is okay but it has doesn’t give opportunity to classify a study as strong, moderate or weak.
how do I go about this? Are there other tools that can be use for quantitative studies. thanks as I await your response.
Hello,
Have you considered looking at the Cochrane website: https://training.cochrane.org/handbook/current/chapter-25? You might find some guidance there. Best wishes
