Full Title
Systematic reviews within Evidence-informed Decision-Making (EIDM) in nutrition and health
Session Overview
There is a need to strengthen, formalise, share and use knowledge and evidence on health problems in order to i) serve as the basis for setting research and policy priorities for health, and ii) align the production of scientific knowledge and evidence with the information needs of decision-makers. This is especially urgent in settings where resources are limited, which means policy-makers and researchers should make best use of evidence to make more well-informed decisions linked to their own context. This session will highlight the stepwise process to obtain evidence on the effectiveness of health interventions appropriate to their setting and their priorities.
