Collaboration with G-I-N Public

Thus far, participants include Corinna Schaefer, Heather Buchan, Robin Vernooij, Melina Willson and Jorma Kormulainen, and the following projects are underway:

(1)   Systematic review of self-management to describe the format/content/delivery characteristics associated with impact, thereby identifying the types of information/tools that could accompany guidelines and support implementation.

(2)   Create a toolkit/directory that offers information/links to existing resources (academic publications, web sites, guides) on how to develop patient-oriented resources (guideline summaries, leaflets/brochures, decision aids, etc.) to accompany guidelines and support implementation.

 

Guideline questionnaires

To compile an inventory of guideline questionnaires, we are conducting a systematic review of guideline questionnaires that assess knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and intended/self-reported behaviour.
