What is PRISMA?

The PRISMA statement consists of a 27-item checklist and a 4-phase flow diagram. These items have been adapted for use by students conducting systematic reviews as part of the course requirements for KIN 4400.
For more information, consult the PRISMA Explanation and Elaboration document.
