Task list Rapid evidence assessments (REAs)

Task list: Rapid evidence assessments (REAs) at least one of the intervention points you identified in Project 1 case (see the attachment, named as Project 1) scientific literature regarding that point.

Task list: Rapid evidence assessments (REAs)

·         at least one of the intervention points you identified in Project 1 case (see the attachment, named as Project 1) scientific literature regarding that point.
·         Must follow the guideline as in CEBMa – Guideline for Rapid Evidence Assessments in Management and Organizations provided by the Center for Evidence-Based Management (CEBMa). This guide is crucial to completing all the steps in this project.
·         APA format ( a must)

Overview:
Firstly, determine REA Question and Search Strategy and Conduct Your Search

Secondly, now that you’ve selected your intervention point, you’re ready to start your rapid evidence assessment.

Step 1. Background: What Is the Context of the REA Question?
·         Consider the rationale for the assessment you’re conducting as well as its implications. Why is this assessment important, and how might it impact future research and/or other organizations?
·         Who are the stakeholders? Who will be interested in the results and why (Barends, Rousseau,
·         & Briner, 2017)? This step will help you focus on your audience and its needs as you conduct your REA.

Step 2. Formulating the REA Question: What Does the REA Answer?

·         Write the question you want your assessment to answer.
·         To focus your question, use the PICOC guide which will help you develop the question that will enable you to obtain the most relevant search results.

Step 3. Defining Inclusion Criteria: Which Studies Will Be Taken into Account?
·         Use the question you developed and your PICOC results to set parameters for your studies.
·         Define exclusion as well as inclusion criteria.

Step 4. Search Strategy: How Should the Studies Be Sought?

As you determine your search strategy and develop your search string, review as necessary your doctoral-level library research skills. It require systematically search for and retrieve the evidence

 

Because the search string is so important (it needs to show it is reproducible) to the success of your REA, it need to show: how to track information such as search date, filters, search strings, how many studies you found with each string, and how many duplicate studies you removed

 

Discussed and refined your search strategy, conduct your search.

use ONLY a variety of biographical databases as you search for peer-reviewed studies and other professional studies and reports as needed to reduce bias.

Back Step 3: Assess, Extract, Appraise, and Examine Results (Now that you’ve conducted your search, you’ll want to winnow the results, extract the data, and evaluate what you generated).

Step 5. Study Selection: How Should You Select the Studies?

Firstly, check all the studies against your inclusion and exclusion criteria, paying special attention to

Secondly, those that are directly relevant to your research question.

Thirdly, your client company will want documentation of your evidence-based approach, which will provide transparency and facilitate replicability.

Step 6. Data Extraction: What Information Should You Extract?
·         Now, you’ll compile the data and other relevant information.
·         Create a table, flowchart, or other organizer and populate it with the information from each study that pertains to the research question. Suggested items to track include the following:

author

publication year

sector/population

research design

sample size

main findings

outcome measures

possible moderators or mediators

effect size with a 95 percent confidence interval

limitations

level of trustworthiness (Barends et al., 2017)
in which you’ll want to provide relevant information about the studies you’ve evaluated.
