This video has an Evidence-Based Medicine (as opposed to Public Health) perspective, but the information is adaptable to Public Health. Rahul Patwari, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Rush University Medical Center, explains:
1) what reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are (the first 2 min and 35 seconds)
2) the process for producing a systematic review (2:36-8:44)
3) how to evaluate a systematic review (8:45-16:56)
The second section is not essential viewing for students in this course, so you may watch to 2:35 then skip to 8:45 if you like.
