The EVID@Easy trails can be understood as guided paths that lead to the most suitable studies to answer a specific research problem. From a theme or a goal of the Third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG3), the problem, the stage of the decision-making process for which evidence is being sought, and the specific interest related to the problem are indicated.
Each option has behind it a search strategy developed by specialized librarians in bibliographic research at the VHL and validated by professionals specialized in evidence-informed health policy formulation. The search strategies associated with the decision-making process stage and their possible combinations can be consulted in this file - mapa-mental-evid@easy.pdf or in the
VHL Search Strategy Repository.
The search strategies for these 16 questions can be combined with dozens of other strategies for health problems, generating hundreds of possible combinations that guide the user in their search for evidence that can answer their question or information need. The search strategies for health problems can be consulted in the
Search Strategy Repository at the VHL
