Session: Policy Relevant Research Synthesis

Time: Wednesday 6th July, 15:45 - 17:15

Convenors:

Professor Paul Montgomery (University of Oxford)
Dr Jane Dennis (University of Bristol)

Abstract Details

CONSORT-SPI is an evidence-based reporting guideline for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of social and psychological interventions. Reports of RCTs testing these interventions often omit important information, hindering critical appraisal and the effective transfer of this research evidence to policy and practice decision-making. The objective of this session is to present the rationale behind CONSORT-SPI, the methods used in its development, and the guideline checklist itself, including instructions for its use and examples from social intervention research. Following this presentation, a discussion of the guideline and its implications for the social intervention field will follow.
