Webcast summary
This webcast provides a brief introduction to KTDRR’S tool, Assessing the Quality and Applicability of Systematic Reviews (AQASR). AQASR is an online document and checklist designed to help busy clinicians, administrators, and researchers to better understand systematic reviews. AQASR describes a series of critical questions, with a rationale and items to look for, that can be asked of a systematic review. The checklist is a tool for readers to make notes that help reveal the strengths and weaknesses of a systematic review in general and as relevant to a particular clinical question or other concerns of the reader.
Presenters Joann Starks and Devin Dedrick describe the background of AQASR and how to use it and demonstrate creating a checklist for a disability-oriented systematic review.
AQASR was developed in 2011 as a downloadable document. KTDRR launched an updated online version of the AQASR document and checklist in 2023 that is housed at
