SUPPORT Tools for evidence-informed health Policymaking (STP)

Oxman, A. & Hanney, S. (editors)

Each article in this series presents a proposed tool that can be used by those involved in finding and using research evidence to support evidence-informed health policy-making. The series addresses four broad areas: 1. Supporting evidence-informed policy-making 2. Identifying needs for research evidence in relation to three steps in policy-making processes, namely problem clarification, options framing, and implementation planning 3. Finding and assessing both systematic reviews and other types of evidence to inform these steps, and 4. Going from research evidence to decisions.
