Dear Colleagues,
Any advice on a methodological framework I can use to review factors or variables that are associated with physical activity (outcome of interest)? I'm not necessarily interested in a meta-analysis on the strength of these associations, but rather interested in identifying the holistic "system" that has been associated with physical activity across various contexts. Almost like "systems thinking or concept mapping", but then based on literature rather than "interviews / workshops".
Thank you in advance
Martin
Thank you for you response Karl, I will definitely look into this option. Although, I'm more leaning towards an approach where the "weight" of the associations is less relevant, as it may introduce bias towards associations that are studied more frequently in the one setting (e.g. high-income country) versus another setting (e.g. low-income country).
Meta-analysis is done when there is a quantitative data in the papers you collect to find out and effect size.A systematic literature review but can be done for your type of research.Pls refer to the video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj38Topqj8yC3SdrV6HypIg
Hi Martin,
I would encourage you to take a look at this paper.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-0398-3, they did interviews as well but initial map was based on reviewing literatures, read the supplementary material too. they explain the method quite thoroughly.
