Data Collection Form Blank
Data Collection Form Blank
Be consistent in the order and style you use to describe the information for each report.
Record any missing information as unclear or not described, to make it clear that the
information was not found in the study report(s), not that you forgot to extract it.
Include any instructions and decision rules on the data collection form, or in an accompanying
document. It is important to practice using the form and give training to any other authors using
the form.
