A fast and accurate summary of the latest health evidence
Evidence Check
An Evidence Check is a fast and accurate summary of the latest health evidence, on your specific issue, presented succinctly in a professional format. Our team of experts can help answer your policy, program or health services questions with the most relevant evidence drawn from peer-reviewed research and government and other reports.
Why commission an Evidence Check?
Evidence Checks are ideal for informing the development or revision of policies or programs, providing evidence to support funding decisions, and revealing gaps in the current evidence. They can also support communications of evidence to other stakeholders.
What are the options?
We offer two types of evidence reviews. The type you choose will depend on your purpose, time frame and budget.

Our Evidence Check was brilliantly executed by the Sax Institute in terms of being timely, thorough, and targeted. We were really happy with the work and have since used it very extensively.
