MATRICS: A Method for Aggregating The Reporting of Interventions in Complex Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background There are few rigorous methods for combining qualitative and quantitative findings from studies with complex interventions using multiple research methods and giving appropriate weight to each without introducing bias to the overall conclusions. We developed a Method for Aggregating The Reporting of Interventions in Complex Studies (MATRICS) for the ENIGMA study (Evaluating Innovations in Gastroenterology by the NHS Modernisation Agency) – a multicentre, mixed-methods study to evaluate the impact of the Modernising Endoscopy Services programme [1], funded by the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR SDO ref 08/1304/46).
