Rapid evidence assessments provide a more structured and rigorous search and quality assessment of the evidence than a literature review but are not as exhaustive as a systematic review. They can be used to:

• gain an overview of the density and quality of evidence on a particular issue
• support programming decisions by providing evidence on key topics
• support the commissioning of further research by identifying evidence gaps
