BUENDIA-RODRIGUEZ, Jefferson A  and  SANCHEZ-VILLAMIL, Juana P. Using Systematic Reviews for Evidence-based Health Promotion: Basic Methodology Issues. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2006, vol.8, suppl.2, pp.94-105. ISSN 0124-0064.

Systematic reviews and evidence-based recommendations are becoming increasingly important for decision-making in health and medicine. Systematic reviews of population-health interventions are challenging and methods will continue evolving. This paper provides an overview of how evidence-based approaches in public health and health promotion are being reviewed to provide a basis for Colombian Guide to Health Promotion, analysing limitations and recommendations for future reviews.

Keywords : Health promotion; evidence-based medicine.
