A Framework for Production of Systematic Review Based Briefings to Support Evidence-Informed Decision-Making

Description

This framework:

• outlines an approach to developing evidence briefings from systematic review evidence
• provides an Evidence Briefing Checklist to clarify the research question
• provides an Evidence Briefing Evaluation Questionnaire to assess the effectiveness of the briefing note

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The framework guides users through the three phases of developing evidence briefings using systematic review evidence:

A) Development – the process of developing the evidence briefing is broken down into seven steps:

1. Generate topics.
2. Clarify the research question.
3. Search for systematic reviews.
4. Search for economic evidence (economic evaluations).
5. Assess the quality of systematic reviews and economic evaluations.
6. Relate the evidence to the local context.
7. Assess the evidence with respect to implications for health equity.

B) Peer review/quality control

C) Evaluation
