An open access publication, the SUPPORT tools for evidence-informed health policymaking is a supplement in Health Research Policy and Systems. Broken down into 17 “tools”, or steps, it is formatted as a set of questions, with a focus on four broad areas: supporting evidence-informed policymaking, identifying needs for research, finding and assessing research evidence and going from research evidence to decisions.
This innovative publication is an excellent example of how the evidence-based approach is becoming more sophisticated and accessible, at the same time that the focus on linking research to policy and practice is maintained.
