The purpose of this project is to identify and use our knowledge on the barriers and facilitators to using systematic reviews (SR) by health care managers (HCM) and policy markers (PM) to develop and test a novel format for presentation of SR for HCM and PM. We will invite HCM and PM from hospitals and regional authorities in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia to participate in a randomized-control trial. Participants will receive a link to an online consent survey, and then be randomly allocated to receive access to a novel SR or its traditional presentation. There is no time limit to completing the task, and participants are able to save their responses and finish later. Participants are able to withdraw from the study by not completing the task.

Proportion of participants (health care managers or policy makers) who appropriately consider and apply the evidence from each systematic review format
Timeframe: This measure will be assessed at the particular time the intervention is administered (i.e., at the time the participant reads the systematic review format, an average of 2 hours).
