Although the list of works has not been made final, the draft checklist is impressive.
Stage Four: testing the checklist and data extraction The draft checklist will be tested/scored by all project group members using one of the guidelines as a sample.
An Infection Control readiness checklist, based on a draft checklist from the Infection Control Association (Singapore), was compiled by members of the ISC Infection Control Working Group.
We devised monitoring methods in accordance with our draft checklist, and systematically recorded the outcomes of these alongside recording of the implications for the main trial.
A draft checklist of potentially relevant items was developed based on the results of a systematic review of exercise systematic reviews.
Finally, in Round 3, participants reviewed aggregated ratings and comments for all items, and voted for or against inclusion in the draft checklist.
The expert panel consisted of two independent academic experts, who scrutinized previous submissions and developed a new draft checklist, and members of the HTA Office who supervised the project and approved new items in the checklist.
3) Based on the draft checklist we planned and tested methods of monitoring, and recorded outcomes of monitoring, for a pilot trial of psychological interventions for family carers of people with dementia [ 17].
The aim was to agree, where possible, on the content of the updated draft checklist as well as to develop a revised set of explanations for each included item.
Following Round 1, items submitted by participants were aggregated with minimal change into six additional items for Round 2. In Round 3, of the 21 total items, nine were endorsed by 70% of participants for inclusion in a draft checklist.
We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors to draft a checklist of items.
