  1. Analytic FrameworksInteractive Quiz Prepared for: The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Training Modules for Systematic Reviews Methods Guide www.ahrq.gov

  2. Definition of an Analytic Framework What is an analytic framework? • A way to identify and measure bias • A visual way of linking and defining clinical concepts, evidence, and populations as they relate to outcomes • A way to check for logical flaws in the systematic review • Both B and C • None of the above

  3. When Analytic Frameworks Are Developed Analytic frameworks are developed during the writing phase, at the end of the systematic review. • True • False

  4. Key Uses of an Analytic Framework Why are analytic frameworks used in the course of a systematic review? • To provide clinical, biological, or health services underpinnings for the mechanism of action • To identify logical flaws as key questions are developed • To identify distinct bodies of evidence to be included in the review • To provide a starting point for discussions with key informants • All of the above

  5. Population of Interest One of the essential components of an analytic framework is the population of interest. • True • False

  6. When To Use the Analytic Framework When is the most productive time to use the analytic framework? • During the writing phase to allow the team to view the framework with fresh eyes • As the team needs it throughout the project • Only during quality assessment to assess applicability of studies • During the preparation phase to develop the key questions to provide a starting point for the key informants

  7. Summary • An analytic framework: • Should be developed during the topic refinement process • Clarifies assumptions and complex questions • Identifies logical flaws as key questions are developed • Should be used throughout the comparative effectiveness review to revisit criteria, control scope, reconsider appropriate questions, guide interviews, and help structure results and the report

  8. Author • This quiz was prepared by Melissa L. McPheeters, Ph.D., M.P.H., a member of the Vanderbilt University Evidence-based Practice Center. • The module is based on an update of chapter 2 in version 1.0 of the Methods Guide for Comparative Effectiveness Reviews (available at: http://www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/ehc/products/60/294/2009_0805_principles1.pdf).
