Introducing NEW Search Pyramids from the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools

Need a faster, more efficient way to find high quality research evidence?

Searching online for research evidence can be frustrating. Searching can take a lot of time and may not produce the results you need. Efficient searching is an acquired skill. The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT) has developed Search Pyramids to support efficient searching for research evidence. These pre-populated online tools, based on the 6S Pyramid (hierarchy of synthesized evidence), save you time and ensure you will find the most synthesized evidence available to answer your public health questions. Our topic-specific Search Pyramids focus on issues identified by public health professionals as high priority issues in Canada.

Who are these tools for?

Search Pyramids are designed for public health professionals who need to find research evidence to support their program and policy decisions.

How can you use these tools?

A general public health Search Pyramid is available on the NCCMT website. Log in to the Learning Centre to access and customize the topic-specific Search Pyramids. Within each topic, you will find links to relevant sources of evidence at each level in the 6S Pyramid. Clicking on the links will take users directly to the online sources of relevant evidence.

Topics include:
