The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools — Here to support you in evidence-informed decision making

 

NCCMT.1

At the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT), we champion the use of the best available evidence in public health decision making. Our goal is to facilitate optimal health and well-being for all by ensuring public health practitioners and organizations are equipped with the knowledge and skills to implement the most effective and cost-efficient programs and services.

What is evidence-informed decision making? It is the process of using the best available evidence in practice, programs and policy. It can help you have confidence in your decisions, build the business case for public health, and ensure resources are being used on solutions that work.

The NCCMT team is here to support you in your evidence-informed decision making journey. Browse any of the free NCCMT resources listed below, or visit our website to learn more.

• Learning Centre:

Try the Evidence-Informed Decision Making Skills Assessment, a 20-question self-assessment to encourage the development of evidence-informed decision making knowledge and skills.

Explore 13 online learning modules on topics covering each stage in the evidence-informed decision making process.

Investigate two abbreviated learning modules introducing evidence-informed decision making.

Use an interactive 6S pyramid to explore databases to search for research evidence at all levels.

• Health Evidence™: Explore a repository of over 6,000 quality-appraised systematic reviews evaluating the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of public health interventions.

• Registry of Methods and Tools: Search over 270 knowledge translation methods and tools to help you use evidence in practice.

The work of the NCCMT is made possible through generous funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada. We are proud to be hosted at McMaster University as part of the School of Nursing. We are one of six National Collaborating Centres across Canada.
