New online learning module: Critical Appraisal of Guidelines

The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT), hosted by McMaster’s School of Nursing, is committed to supporting and building capacity for evidence-informed decision-making in public health.

To that end, we recently released a new resource for public health professionals.

Critical Appraisal of Guidelines is a free, interactive and self-paced module designed for public health practitioners and decision-makers who are involved in the implementation of evidence in practice or program development.

Learn more about the criteria used to critically appraise guidelines, and how to apply those criteria to the guidelines you find.
