Abstract

Umbrella reviews are an established method of locating, appraising, and synthesising systematic review-level evidence. Umbrella review methodology is hough only just beginning to emerge as a well-used technique in public health research. This chapter therefore summarises some of the first umbrella reviews conducted in the field of public health with a thematic focus on the social determinants of health and how interventions might affect health inequalities. The chapter discusses some of h cross-cutting methodological and thematic lessons learned from this body of work and concludes by suggesting new directions or umbrella reviews within he field.
