Critical Appraisal of Public Health Evidence is going to walk you through some easy steps that you can use to ask good questions, find the evidence you're looking for, and make good sense of how well that evidence represents the information you're looking for. Throughout this course, you'll have an opportunity to participate in some small activities and a reference guide to use at the end.
