Happy to see one of the @McMasterForum evidence syntheses (in this case about the health and social impacts of evacuations and interventions that can help to mitigate their effects) being used to inform an article about the #LAWildfires. mcmasterforum.org/about-us/produ…

.@Wilson_MichaelG & @clamavelez shared evidence and insights on the impact of strategies to mitigate health-related misinformation in this recent @CHEPAMcMaster webinar youtu.be/dG_w9njcVGc?si… @HEI_mcmaster

We are looking to hire a new member to our scientific team at the @McMasterForum with the ability to lead evidence syntheses that are focused on addressing timely system and policy questions. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

We wish you a restful holiday season and a healthy 2024. As we approach the end of the year, we’ve taken some time to look back and reflect on the past 12 months... mcmasterforum.org/about-us/new-a…

#Misinformation is false information that is spread, regardless of intent to mislead. #Disinformation is the intentional spreading of misinformation. This rapid evidence profile addresses what is known about the types of mis/disinformation practices mcmasterforum.org/about-us/produ…

Cancer systems are complex and require considerable communication & coordination across providers to ensure patients receive optimal care. This #RapidSynthesis examines approaches to support #cancer patients unattached to primary care mcmasterforum.org/about-us/produ… @cancerstratCA

We coordinated and collaborated with evidence-synthesis teams from across Canada to produce a suite of 10 living evidence syntheses about #COVID19 public health and social measures mcmasterforum.org/spark-action/s…

Interventions evaluated: 1) quarantine and isolation; 2) masks (effects & unintended outcomes); 3) ventilation; 4) reducing contacts; 5) physical distancing; 6) hand hygiene & respiratory etiquette; 7) cleaning and disinfection; 8) adherence; and 9) combinations of interventions

Our team at the @McMasterForum found that combinations of #publichealth and social measures have stronger effects in reducing #COVID19 transmission when more measures were combined, & when stricter measures of gathering restrictions or physical distancing were included

#Evidencesynthesis teams across Canada collaborated with coordination from @McMasterForum to produce a timely and demand-driven suite of 10 living evidence syntheses on the effects of #covid19 #PublicHealth and social measures. Full suite available here: mcmasterforum.org/spark-action/s…

Our (@clamavelez and @lavisjn) @CIHR_IRSC funded living evidence synthesis protocol on the impact of strategies to mitigate misinformation in diverse settings and populations is now published in @BMJ_Open bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/10/…. We'll have a first version ready this fall!
