The Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre (EPPI-Centre) (n.d.). Welcome to the EPPI-Centre. Retrieved from Organization website: http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/cms/Default.aspx?tabid=53&language=en-US

Description

The centre provides an online repository of EPPI-Centre conducted systematic reviews in social science and public policy. The Centre also provides a repository of methods and tools for conducting systematic reviews in public policy.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The website has a custom search engine to search systematic reviews in the following ways:

  • Knowledge pages – summaries of systematic review findings
  • Review pages – classification by broad topic area, by date, by group conducting the review and by knowledge page (summary)
  • Database of health promotion and public health research – a listing of databases with reviews
  • Other tools to support systematic reviews

These summaries are written by the NCCMT to condense and to provide an overview of the resources listed in the Registry of Methods and Tools and to give suggestions for their use in a public health context. For more information on individual methods and tools included in the review, please consult the authors/developers of the original resources.
