- 6. Evidence-based enough? Information that: Systematically aimed to minimize bias in finding and interpreting information Relies on research that also minimizes bias – systematic reviews whenever possible Keeps up-to-date Learn more here www.pubmed.gov/health
- 7. PubMed Health Aims to: Help people find systematic reviews Understand what they find Curates: Systematic reviews + quality assessments of them Information based on systematic reviews Educational materials Learn more: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/nd11/nd11_pm_health.html
