Our team looked at 107 realist #reviews published in 2021 to see if & how they reported using external advisory groups. While 40% (37 reviews) mentioned an advisory group, they involved different terms, stakeholders and stages of the review. 📖➡️doi.org/10.1002/cesm.1…

Context is king 🤩

We need to know more about the HOW (i.e the mechanisms through which) policy changes work in the healthcare system (Prof David Hunter)

@Mcferdious You are at that level @Mcferdious - the realist Sherlock Holmes!

This is so sweet @NRealists Thanks a million. I wish l had gotten to that level 😕

Retroduction, deduction… someone call Sherlock for help with the latter and @Mcferdious for help with the former 👍🏻😜 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
