Evidence Analysis Manual

Template available Example available

Description

This manual was developed to guide users through the process of conducting a systematic review. The process is broken down into distinct parts of a project with actions within each step. Templates of forms are included to complement each step and action.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The guidebook includes five steps:

Step 1: Formulate the evidence analysis question

Step 2: Gather and classify the evidence

Step 3: Critically appraise the evidence

Step 4: Summarize the evidence

Step 5: Write and grade the conclusion statement

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
