27 systems were identified in this review for the GRADE group and six were critically appraised.

There may be others since 2004 but the free online paper should provide a reasonable starting point for identifying those particularly relevant to social policy

Subject: Systems for rating the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendation
***Apologies for cross-posting***
Dear colleagues
I am trying to identify systems for rating the quality of evidence and strengths
of recommendations. Most standards are clinical, but I am especially
interested in ones that could be applied to social policy.
I am aware of standards by: NICE; GRADE;California Evidence-based clearing
house; Swedish IMS version of the California Evidence-based clearing house;
coalition for Evidence based Policy.
Thanks
Julie
