Evidence Library

The Evidence Library contains outputs produced or coordinated by the Evidence Hub. Each output is written to support evidence-informed decisions and includes a plain-language summary.

Outputs will appear here as they are published. During the set-up phase this page may also include pilot outputs, methods notes and links to relevant partner evidence resources.

Filters

Topic, output type (evidence brief, rapid review, living evidence update, methods note, horizon scanning report, plain-language summary), status (current, under update, superseded, archived), date and audience.

Each output includes

A plain-language answer; key messages; the question asked and why it matters; what evidence was included; what the evidence suggests; how certain we are; what was not answered; Irish context and implementation issues; methods and limitations; and the date, version and update status.

Evidence can change. Always check the date and status of an output before using it.
