The large number of systematic reviews conducted by and supported by the EPPI Centre have contributed to a broad knowledge base that covers a number of subject areas.
This page enables users to search for the key messages within specific subject areas to which EPPI Centre reviews have contributed. These key messages have been developed from our broad knowledge base and may include findings from several reviews. Information about which reviews have contributed to this knowledge is available on each knowledge page, but users interested in the details and findings of a particular review should search via the list of reviews.
