The scientific literature on effective interventions is a key tool for evidence-based public health. This 1-hour module will explain systematic reviews of scientific literature and introduce you to important resources for finding practice-relevant studies.
This is module 5 of the Evidence-Based Public Health Training Series. It is meant to stand alone, but you may also take it together with the other modules in this series to receive a certificate in Evidence-Based Public Health.
Reviewers say, "Use the Course Guide to try searching the databases yourself (but excuse the PHpartners link)."
