The aim of the 2009 Annual Evidence Update on CAM for Depression is to identify, organise and present the most up-to-date evidence for this topic. It will include a summary of the evidence from systematic reviews and RCTs published between July 2008 and August 2009. This update is linked to the 2009 Annual Evidence Update on Depression hosted by NHS Evidence - mental health.
Background to the NHS Evidence Specialist Collections and Annual Evidence Updates
The specialist collections have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each specialist collection identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
