Updating Health Evidence™
We systematically search the published literature using three strategies:
- Electronic Search
We search seven bibliographic databases:
- MEDLINE
- EMBASE
- CINAHL
- PsycINFO
- BIOSIS
- SPORTDiscus
- Sociological Abstracts
All databases have been searched from 1995 to present. For MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO, we have developed methodological search filters to retrieve systematic reviews, meta-analyses and metasyntheses that evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions.

- Handsearch
We screen the Cochrane Library for new, updated and withdrawn reviews. We also receive and screen the following evidence services: National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tool's PublicHealth+; Knowledge Translation+; Best Evidence for Nursing+; MacPLUS Federated Search; Health Systems Evidence.
Searches are updated monthly. To date, over 1,820,000 titles have been screened.
