 The ‘SUPPORT tools for evidence-informed health policymaking’ were recently published as a supplement in Health Research Policy and Systems. This open access publication provides a set of tools that can be used by those involved in finding and using research evidence to support evidence-informed health policymaking. The series addresses four broad areas: supporting evidence-informed policymaking; identifying needs for research evidence; finding and assessing research evidence; and, going from research evidence to decisions.

 

The supplement contains 17 tools that are structured using a set of questions that can help to guide the use of research evidence to inform health policy decisions. Chinese, French, Portuguese and Spanish translations of the tools will be available early in 2010. The supplement can be found at:

Now is a good time to visit www.leeds.ac.uk/statistical_thinking and learn more about Statistical Thinking. Statistical Thinking recognises and appreciates the needs of non-statisticians working in (and allied to) health. All the short courses in the programme are precisely targeted so that delegates become effective users and/or consumers of statistics - without the expectation of becoming a statistician.

 

Courses include Introduction to Biostatistics, Modelling, Multilevel Modelling, Sample Size and Implementation of Biostatistics using SPSS/STATA/R. For further details on Statistical Thinking, including registration, visit www.leeds.ac.uk/statistical_thinking
