Framework analysis is a technique used for data analysis in primary qualitative research. Recent years have seen its being adapted to conduct syntheses of qualitative studies. Framework-based synthesis shows considerable promise in addressing applied policy questions. An innovation in the approach, known as 'best fit' framework synthesis, has been published in BMC Medical Research Methodology this month. It involves reviewers in choosing a conceptual model likely to be suitable for the question of the review, and using it as the basis of their initial coding framework. This framework is then modified in response to the evidence reported in the studies in the reviews, so that the final product is a revised framework that may include both modified factors and new factors that were not anticipated in the original model. 'Best fit' framework-based synthesis may be especially suitable in addressing urgent policy questions where the need for a more fully developed synthesis is balanced by the need for a quick answer.

框架分析是一种用于主要定性研究数据分析的技术。近年来，它已被用于对定性研究进行综合分析。基于框架的综合分析在解决应用政策问题方面显示出很大的前景。该方法的一项创新，即“最佳拟合”框架综合分析，本月已在《BMC 医学研究方法学》上发表。它要求审稿人选择一个可能适合审查问题的概念模型，并将其作为他们初始编码框架的基础。然后，根据综述中报告的证据，对该框架进行修改，以便最终得到一个经过修订的框架，其中可能包括在原始模型中没有预料到的修改后的因素和新因素。“最佳拟合”基于框架的综合分析可能特别适用于解决紧急政策问题，在这些问题中，对更全面的综合分析的需求与对快速答案的需求相平衡。请参阅相关文章：http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/11/29。
