Healthcare Policy Meta-Analysis

Job ID: 40010039

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I need an experienced research writer to plan and execute a full systematic review and meta-analysis in the healthcare policy arena. I will provide the exact research question and PICO framework once we agree to proceed; however, the scope will remain firmly within policy-level interventions rather than clinical efficacy studies.

Here is what I expect:

• A protocol drafted to PRISMA-P standards, registered on PROSPERO once we finalise the keywords and inclusion criteria.
• Comprehensive searches across the major medical and policy databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, plus relevant grey-literature sources).
• Rigorous screening, data extraction, risk-of-bias assessment (Cochrane RoB 2 or ROBINS-I as appropriate) and GRADE certainty ratings.
• Meta-analysis carried out in RevMan, R (meta, metafor) or Stata—whichever you are most comfortable with—accompanied by forest plots, funnel plots and heterogeneity diagnostics.
• A manuscript formatted for submission to a peer-reviewed health policy journal, complete with PRISMA checklist and supplementary tables/figures.

Acceptance criteria
1. Protocol accepted by me and registered publicly.
2. Search strategy reproducible and peer-reviewed.
3. All included studies and extracted data supplied in a clean spreadsheet and EndNote/Zotero library.
4. Statistical code fully annotated and reproducible.
5. Final paper meets PRISMA 2020 guidelines and is ready for journal submission.

If you have already published systematic reviews in healthcare policy, please mention the citation in your bid and tell me which software you prefer for the analysis.
