Designing, Implementing and Presenting Research to be Reviewed by the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee

The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) used three rigorous, protocol-driven approaches to review the current scientific evidence – data analysis, food pattern modeling, and systematic reviews. The systematic reviews were completed with the support of USDA’s Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR) staff. These reviews answer questions on diet and health by searching for, evaluating, and synthesizing all relevant, peer-reviewed studies. In this webinar, Federal staff will present NESR methodology and discuss how it corresponds to designing and implementing research studies and to reporting study findings. Key components of the systematic reviews, such as inclusion and exclusion criteria and the risk of bias assessment, will be highlighted. 

This activity was organized by the ASN Committee on Advocacy and Science Policy (CASP).
