Abstract
The approach taken in this book to guide authors in assessing the evidence for their respective topic areas was generated by the editors. It represents a combination of current recommendations for describing the state of public health evidence, assessing the quality of that evidence, including the suitability of the various studies reviewed to assess the effectiveness of their respective interventions, along with a good dose of practicality.
