Welcome

McMaster University's Health Information Research Unit is providing you with access to current best evidence from research, tailored to your own health care interests, to support evidence-based clinical decisions.

This service is unique: all citations (from over 120 premier clinical journals) are pre-rated for quality by research staff, then rated for clinical relevance and interest by at least 3 members of a worldwide panel of practicing occupational and physical therapists. Here's what we offer:

  • A searchable database of the best evidence from the health care literature
  • An email alerting system
  • Links to selected evidence-based resources
