Toxic Metals in Water Systematic Review Research Assistant
The Water Institute is seeking student volunteers to participate in a team working on a systematic review of lead and other toxic metals in drinking water systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Students will learn how to conduct a literature review using systematic review software, how to evaluate peer-reviewed literature, and about the prevalence and measurement of lead and other toxic metals in drinking water systems. Students are asked to commit to 10 hours of work per week, with responsibilities including:
• Scan journal literature at the title/abstract level to determine relevance
• Review full-text journal articles to determine relevance to the review and extract study information
• Meet weekly with the full team to discuss the project and progress
• Analyze data to create tables or figures using Excel
