Welcome to the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT)

We are one of six National Collaborating Centres for Public Health in Canada. The NCCMT provides leadership and expertise in sharing what works in public health.

Who is the NCCMT for?

Our primary target audiences are public health managers and professionals across Canada who promote and facilitate evidence-informed decision making. Our products and services are available and relevant to all public health practitioners, policy makers and researchers.

Strengthening public health in Canada

We believe that using evidence to inform public health practice and policy in Canada can improve our public health system and, ultimately, the health of all Canadians.

We help you to find and use innovative, high quality, up-to-date methods and tools for sharing what works in public health.


Evidence-Informed Public Health

The process of distilling and disseminating the best available evidence, whether from research or from actual practice, and using that evidence to inform and improve public health practice and policy.

Put simply, it means finding, using and sharing what works in public health.

Public Health +

Public Health + is coming to you via the McMaster Health Knowledge Refinery. Every article of over 120 medical and allied health academic journals is critically appraised to identify those that are methodologically sound. Articles that pass this process are rated (maximum 7) by clinicians for relevance and newsworthiness, they are then sent to this website. The articles are updated weekly and a searchable archive is kept on this website.
