The Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Co-ordinating Centre
(EPPI-Centre) is part of the Social Science Research Unit (SSRU), Institute
of Education, University of London. The focus of the EPPI-Centre’s work is
on promoting systematic reviews of research evidence, on developing methods
and tools for systematic appraisal of different kinds of research studies,
and on facilitating user involvement throughout the review and
dissemination process. The EPPI-Centre’s work is funded by UK government
departments and other national and international funding bodies.
Our work in health promotion has been funded by the Department of Health
(England) since 1995 and includes:
· systematic reviews that use systematic and rigorous methods to pull
together research to inform decision making;
· an information, resource and training centre, including searchable on-
line databases of Health Promotion and Public Health Research;
· the development of methods for synthesising research;
· joint co-ordination of the Cochrane Health Promotion and Public Health
Field http://www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/cochrane/) and contributions to other
similar initiatives.
Throughout our work we aim to collaborate with policy makers, researchers,
practitioners and service users to help make our work more relevant.

Centre's work on Education and Perspectives and Participation can be found
