Proportionate universalism is a principle suggesting that health interventions and policies need to be universal, not targeted, but with intensity and scale proportionate to the level of social need and/or disadvantage. Within this model, we propose interrelated and multi-level evidence-based policies and strategies to support PA [physical activity] promotion in primary healthcare while addressing health inequities. 2, record 1, English, - proportionate%20universalism

L'universalisme proportionné constitue une approche mixte, se situant à l'interface entre l'approche universelle et l'approche ciblée. [...] Il préconise le développement d'interventions universelles, mais selon une échelle et une intensité proportionnelles au degré de défavorisation des individus. Cela permettrait ainsi d'améliorer l'état de santé de l'ensemble de la population, tout en favorisant la réduction des écarts de santé entre les différents groupes sociaux. 2, record 1, French, - universalisme%20proportionn%C3%A9

Systematic reviews are generally regarded as the highest level of medical evidence by evidence-based medicine professionals. An understanding of systematic reviews and how to implement them in practice is becoming mandatory for all professionals involved in the delivery of health care.... Many healthcare journals now publish systematic reviews, but the best-known source of them is The Cochrane Collaboration, a group of over 6, 000 specialists in health care who systematically review biomedical trials and results of other research. 3, record 5, English, - systematic%20review

Le Réseau-centre canadien Cochrane (R-CCC) partage la vision de la Collaboration Cochrane : La prise de décisions en matière de soins de santé sera guidée par des données de recherche opportunes de haute qualité et cela, à l'échelle mondiale. À ce titre, la Collaboration Cochrane jouera un rôle primordial dans la production et la diffusion de ces données dans tous les domaines des soins de santé. Bien que nous appuyions les efforts entrepris par Collaboration aux quatre coins du globe, le Réseau-centre canadien Cochrane vise à faire de cette vision une réalité au Canada. La mission est de favoriser la prise de décisions fondée sur des données probantes en matière de soins de santé en identifiant et en soutenant au Canada les personnes qui souhaitent contribuer à la Collaboration Cochrane, ainsi qu'en cherchant à promouvoir l'existence, la distribution et l'utilisation des revues systématiques d'études Cochrane sur les effets des interventions cliniques. 1, record 7, French, - R%C3%A9seau%2Dcentre%20canadien%20Cochrane
