Online Tools: Search Pyramids A faster, more efficient way to find high quality research evidence Developed to help public health professionals efficiently search for research evidence in which they can have confidence Designed to be used in conjunction with the Searching Module 27
Online Tools: Search Pyramids Pre-populated, based on the 6S Pyramid (hierarchy of synthesized evidence) Saves you time Helps you find the most synthesized evidence available to answer your public health questions 28
Search Pyramids: Type of Information Emphasis is given to pre-appraised resources that facilitate access to high-quality research practical online resources with free access reviewed for methodological rigor synthesized and sometimes also summarized 29
Search Pyramids: Topics One pyramid for General Public Health Six topic specific pyramids Injury Prevention Health Communication and Social Media Mental Health Environmental Health Healthy Habits (Adults) Healthy Habits (Children) 30
Search Pyramids: Using the 6S Pyramid Within each topic, the information resources are categorized into the levels of the 6S Pyramid 31
Have your heard of the 6S Pyramid before? Put a on your answer (or RSVP via email) Yes No 32
Search 6S Pyramid 33
Search Pyramids: Limitations Are all the sites evaluated for quality? No, while some quality measures may be in place, the responsibility of assessing methodological quality of the articles, through critical appraisal, falls to the user. For more information on critical appraisal, go to NCCMT: http://www.nccmt.ca/pubs/compendiumtooleng.pdf. 34
Search Pyramids: Limitations Currently there are no customized search filters built into the Search Pyramids this means that, once you get to the recommended site, you need to enter your own search terms. We plan to build in the search terms in future versions 35
Answering public health questions using the Search Pyramids Consider the question: Do brief smoking cessation interventions help people stop smoking? 36
Guidelines: are statements, which have been systematically developed, help in making decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical problems.
