EXERCISE OPTION YEAR 1 The topic area review protocol defines both the scope of the literature search and the subsequent systematic review process. The topic area review protocol will specify which kinds of studies, populations, interventions, and outcomes are of interest for the topic area review corresponding with the task order.

Individual studies within the scope of the topic area review protocol will be reviewed using the Study Review Protocol, Version 5.0, which is the protocol used for all WWC study reviews using version 5.0 standards, regardless of topic area. Relevant studies the WWC previously reviewed under the Study Review Protocol, Version 5.0 should not need an additional review, although additional supplemental findings could be added to the original reviews if needed.
