Abstract
Health system managers and policy makers need timely access to high quality, policy-relevant systematic reviews. Our objectives were to obtain managers' and policy makers' feedback about user-friendly summaries of systematic reviews and about tools related to supporting or assessing their use. Our interviews identified that participants prefer key messages up front, such as details regarding background, methods, and applicability, appreciate quality ratings, and prefer bullets and tables to paragraphs. There were mixed views about the relevance-assessment tool and positive views about the use-assessment tool. The findings can be used to support evidence-informed decision making among managers and policy makers.
