McMaster Health Forum

The McMaster Health Forum’s goal is to generate action on the pressing health and social issues of our time. We do this based on the best-available research evidence, as well as experiences and insights from citizens, professionals, organizational leaders, and government policymakers. We undertake some of our work under the Forum banner, and other work in our role as secretariat for Rapid-Improvement Support and Exchange, and Global Commission on Evidence to Address Societal Challenges. In the last five years, we also acted as the secretariat for COVID-19 Evidence Network to support Decision-making (COVID-END). We can help you to: > learn how to make decisions based on the best available research evidence; > find evidence through our own products and the best available sources of pre-appraised, synthesized research evidence; > spark action through stakeholder dialogues, citizen panels, and more; > embed supports for evidence-informed decision-making, by institutionalizing promising and proven approaches; and > evaluate innovations in supporting evidence-informed decision-making.
