We will develop a new knowledge translation product to promote the consideration of sex and gender in systematic reviews. This proposal will involve the development of briefing notes on the relevance of sex and gender to three Cochrane review groups: 1. HIV/AIDS, 2. Hypertension and 3. Musculoskeletal review groups. We will use the equity effectiveness loop framework to identify relevance of sex and/or gender for burden of illness, effectiveness, economic evaluation, implementation and monitoring. These KT briefing notes will be disseminated broadly through the author networks of the three collaborating review groups, and we will also present the results at the Cochrane Canada symposium to encourage other Canadian-based systematic reviewers to consider sex and gender.
