Public Health +

McMaster Plus 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.

For more information on the process or to sign-up as a rater, see http://hiru.mcmaster.ca/hiru/HIRU_McMaster_PLUS_projects.aspx.
