3 Appendix 1 - Compendium of Critical Appraisal Tools Purpose To provide some tools for conducting critical appraisal (step 3 below). Audience Public health decision makers in practice or policy. Introduction to Evidence-Informed Public Health The evidence-informed decision-making process includes the following steps: Stages in Evidence-Informed Public Health Stage in EIPH DEFINE SEARCH APPRAISE SYNTHESIZE ADAPT IMPLEMENT EVALUATE Description Clearly define the question or problem. Efficiently search for research evidence Critically and efficiently appraise the research sources Interpret/ form recommendations for practice based on the literature found Adapt the information to a local context Decide whether (and plan how) to implement the adapted evidence into practice or policy Evaluate the effectiveness of implementation efforts 21
4 How to use this tool Consider the type of question you are asking (first column); then consider the type of evidence you have found. That will lead you to what tool to use. This is not an exhaustive list of critical appraisal tools; merely a listing of tools that are commonly used. The status Recommended indicates that the tool 1) was judged as relevant for most studies in public health, and 2) includes an explanation of criteria within the tool, so the use of the criteria are self-explanatory.
