Guides for Clinicians
The Effective Health Care Program produces three primary products:
Research reviews: These comprehensive reports draw on completed scientific studies to make head-to-head comparisons of different health care interventions. They also show where more research is needed.
Original research reports: These reports are based on clinical research and studies that use health care databases and other scientific resources and approaches to explore practical questions about the effectiveness — or benefits and harms — of treatments.
Summary guides: These short, plain-language guides — tailored to clinicians, consumers, or policymakers — summarize research reviews’ findings on the benefits and harms of different treatment options. Consumer guides provide useful background on health conditions. Clinician and policymaker guides rate the strength of evidence behind a report’s conclusions. The guides on medications also contain basic wholesale price information.
Existing Clinician Guides:
- Cancer
- Diabetes
- Mental Health
- Heart and Blood Vessel
- Muscle, Bone, and Joint

Each of the clinician guides also has an accompanying patient and consumer guide. También hay guías para el consumidor disponible en español.
