McMaster Plus Public Health + comes to you via the McMaster Health Knowledge Refinery.

Articles that pass this process are rated (maximum 7) by clinicians for relevance and newsworthiness, and are then sent to this website. The articles are updated weekly and a searchable archive is kept on this website.
