It includes sources of evidence that sit at the top of the evidence pyramid i.e. robustly conducted systematic reviews & evidence-based guidelines, to give practitioners and decision makers access to reliable and methodologically sound research, which can be used to help inform practice and decision making.
It has been developed to support researchers, public health practitioners, and decision-makers in Wales to better understand what works, for whom and in what context.
Sixteen databases/websites (detailed in the map protocol, available on request) have been searched for guidelines and reviews produced using a robust methodology adhering to systematic review principles. The search has been limited to these sources as we are confident that reviews and guidelines included within them or produced by them utilise a robust methodology. This means that all the included sources in the map have used a comprehensive and transparent search strategy, have selected sources based on stated criteria and have assessed the risk of bias in the primary studies included within them.
