In this web clinic, Dr Munthe-Kass introduced the TRANSFER approach for structured collaboration with stakeholders in order to consider context and the transferability of review findings.
She began by discussing how collaboration with stakeholders can be beneficial when defining the review question and considering contextual factors, how TRANSFER can help us to structure this collaboration, and how to assess the transferability of review findings to a local decision making context. TRANSFER can be used with systematic reviews of effectiveness or qualitative research.
The session was delivered in January 2026 and below you will find the recording.
