Evidence brief: supporting optimal screening approaches in Canada
Année de publication: 2013
This evidence brief mobilizes both global and local
research evidence about a problem, three elements of a
comprehensive approach for addressing the problem,
and key implementation considerations. Whenever
possible, the evidence brief summarizes research
evidence drawn from systematic reviews of the research
literature and occasionally from single research studies.
A systematic review is a summary of studies addressing
a clearly formulated question that uses systematic and
explicit methods to identify, select and appraise research
studies and to synthesize data from the included studies.
The evidence brief does not contain recommendations,
which would have required the authors of the brief to
make judgments based on their personal values and
preferences, and which could pre-empt important
deliberations about whose values and preferences
matter in making such judgments.
