Abstract

This is the protocol for a systematic review which will assess the effects of interventions to improve health research uptake into health policy in low and middle income countries. This will include studies to:

evaluate the effects in different settings and among different end-user groups, including both positive and negative effects
explore the contextual and enabling factors most closely associated with these effects
better understand which combination of interventions is associated with optimal evidence-informed decision making outcomes, and whether the combination changes in different settings and among different end-users

The protocol provides background information and details of the methods to be used
