知识转化和交流（KTE）活动的最终目标是促进将研究知识纳入计划和政策制定决策中。循证决策涉及从系统收集、评估和分析的知识体系中转化最佳可用证据。知识管理（KM）正在成为有助于实现循证公共卫生决策的关键因素。 health-evidence.ca 的目标是通过促进决策者获取、检索和使用评估公共卫生干预措施有效性的最佳可用综合研究证据来促进基于证据的公共卫生决策。 healthproof.ca 中的系统评论是通过对 7 个电子数据库（1985 年至今）的广泛检索而确定的：MEDLINE、EMBASE、CINAHL、PsycINFO、Sociological Abstracts、BIOSIS 和 SportDiscus；手工检索20多种期刊；以及所有相关评论的参考列表搜索。由两名独立评审员评估评审的相关性和质量。常用的公共卫生术语用于为每次审查分配关键词，项目工作人员撰写简短的摘要，突出显示结果以及对政策和实践的影响。截至 2010 年 6 月，health-evidence.ca 登记处共有 21 个公共卫生和健康促进主题领域的 1913 条评论。其中，78% 的方法学质量被评估为强或中等。 Health-evidence.ca 每年收到大约 35,000 次访问，其中 20,596 名是独立访问者，相当于每天大约 100 次访问。不到一半的访问者返回该网站，平均用户每次访问花费六分钟并访问七个页面。公共卫生护士、项目经理、健康促进工作者、研究人员和项目协调员是最大的注册用户群体，其次是图书馆员、营养师、卫生医务人员和营养师。大多数用户 (67%) 通过直接流量访问该网站（例如，将 health-evidence.ca 网页添加为书签，或直接将其输入浏览器）。对 health-evidence.ca 的一致使用，特别是搜索与当前公共卫生优先事项相对应的评论，表明 health-evidence.ca 可能在实现循证公共卫生决策方面发挥着重要作用。
The ultimate goal of knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) activities is to facilitate incorporation of research knowledge into program and policy development decision making. Evidence-informed decision making involves translation of the best available evidence from a systematically collected, appraised, and analyzed body of knowledge. Knowledge management (KM) is emerging as a key factor contributing to the realization of evidence-informed public health decision making. The goal of health-evidence.ca is to promote evidence-informed public health decision making through facilitation of decision maker access to, retrieval, and use of the best available synthesized research evidence evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions. The systematic reviews that populate health evidence.ca are identified through an extensive search (1985-present) of 7 electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, BIOSIS, and SportDiscus; handsearching of over 20 journals; and reference list searches of all relevant reviews. Reviews are assessed for relevance and quality by two independent reviewers. Commonly-used public health terms are used to assign key words to each review, and project staff members compose short summaries highlighting results and implications for policy and practice. As of June 2010, there are 1913 reviews in the health-evidence.ca registry in 21 public health and health promotion topic areas. Of these, 78% have been assessed as being of strong or moderate methodological quality. Health-evidence.ca receives approximately 35,000 visits per year, 20,596 of which are unique visitors, representing approximately 100 visits per day. Just under half of all visitors return to the site, with the average user spending six minutes and visiting seven pages per visit. Public health nurses, program managers, health promotion workers, researchers, and program coordinators are among the largest groups of registered users, followed by librarians, dieticians, medical officers of health, and nutritionists. The majority of users (67%) access the website from direct traffic (e.g., have the health-evidence.ca webpage bookmarked, or type it directly into their browser). Consistent use of health-evidence.ca and particularly the searching for reviews that correspond with current public health priorities illustrates that health-evidence.ca may be playing an important role in achieving evidence-informed public health decision making.
