Research Study: Using ‘living evidence’ in policy decisions

Continually updated, credible evidence syntheses, known as ‘living evidence syntheses’ can be valuable for healthdecisions, but we don’t yet know how to make them most useful for policy.

Monash University and the World Health Organization (WHO), in cooperation with the Pan-African Collective for Evidence, McMaster University, and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, are conducting a study about living evidence and its use in health policy decision-making. 

What are the requirements to participate in this study? 

We are looking for individual government policymakers, knowledge advisors or intermediaries who have used, considered or observed use of living evidence synthesis products to develop health policy. 

What is involved?

If you wish to participate, we will invite you to join a 30 minute telephone or online interview and/or a 1 hour online roundtable discussion with global policymakers and knowledge intermediaries. 

For more information on the study, please read our explanatory statement.
