Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center methods for systematically reviewing complex multicomponent health care interventions.
The purpose of this AHRQ EPC methods white paper was to outline approaches to conducting systematic reviews of complex multicomponent health care interventions. It provided a framework for synthesizing studies of multicomponent interventions and also provided an initial list of critical reporting elements for such studies in order to help systematic reviewers understand the options and tradeoffs available for such reviews.

Evidence-based health care management: what is the research evidence available for health care managers?
The authors conducted a scoping review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to determine the availability and accessibility of evidence for health care managers. They found that 96.5% of their search results were not on target, and they suggested a better classification within PubMed to increase the accessibility of meaningful resources and to facilitate evidence retrieval. They recommended that health care journals take initiatives encouraging the publication of reviews in relevant management areas.

Why we need community engagement in medical research.
The aim of this article was to illustrate how community engagement can help to remedy shortfalls of community trust, participant enrollment, and uptake of research findings. After briefly describing these shortfalls, the authors considered 3 case examples that demonstrate the potential of community engagement to address each. They also discussed the ethical importance and implications of demonstrating respect for the community.

Integrating mixed methods in health services and delivery system research.
The authors introduced this AHRQ-sponsored issue of Health Services Research, describing the papers and briefly indicating where they fit into the emerging mixed methods mosaic. They then provided some suggestions about what may be missing and anticipated a future state of a more integrated approach to health services research and richer dialogue between researchers and those engaged in health care.

How the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute is engaging patients and others in shaping its research agenda.
This article describes PCORI's approach to generating topics for research and how it is being used in selection of research that PCORI will fund. It further describes challenges facing this approach, including a lack of common language and training on the part of patients and resistance on the part of researchers to questions that are not researcher generated.
