Dear EB Community

HDA evidence base website & database is an information resource being developed by the Health Development Agency to support one of its core functions. HDA Evidence Base aims to provide access to the best available information on what works to improve health and reduce health inequalities via the Internet. This resource is aimed at a wide range of practitioners and researchers engaged in public health work. A programme of work is currently underway to populate the database with content.

• Evidence Base 2001, a searchable database of electronically available systematic reviews of effectiveness, literature reviews, meta-analyses, expert group reports and other review-level information about what works to improve health and reduce health inequalities. This database contains summaries of reviews and full reports commissioned or carried out by the HDA, as well as links to reviews and reports elsewhere on the World Wide Web.
• The Evidence Base Gateway provides reviews, databases, organisations and institutions concerned with gathering and publishing evidence about what works to improve health and reduce health inequalities.
• The News and current awareness section contains news releases, on-line bulletins and publications, and relevant information about new research or reports related to the public health evidence base.
