“…Existing systematic reviews of the effectiveness of different capacity-building approaches suggest that mentorship programmes are effective to improve decision makers' attitudes towards EIDM, and may also have an impact on organisational outcomes (Abdullah et al, 2014). Likewise, training in critical appraisal skills seems to be beneficial to decision makers' EIDM knowledge and related behaviour (Horsley et al, 2011). However, the existing research has exclusively been conducted in HIC settings with an explicit focus on healthcare.…”

To maximise the potential impact and acceptability of EIDM capacity building, there is a need for programmes to coordinate their remits within existing systems, playing both 'insider' and 'outsider' roles. Through a review of the South African evidence-policy landscape and analysis of a stakeholder event that brought together EIDM role players, this paper illustrates how one capacity-building programme navigated its position within the national evidence-policy interface. It identifies strategies for improving the acceptability and potential effectiveness of donor-funded EIDM capacity-building activities: understanding the evidence-policy interface, incorporating programmes into the decision-making infrastructure (being an 'insider'), whilst retaining an element of neutrality (being an 'outsider').key words evidence-informed decision making • capacity building • South Africa • evidence use

“…31 This emerging literature includes quantitative studies as well as randomized controlled trials that measure the effect of instructional intervention on the students' search skills in addition to the ability to conduct critical appraisals. [32][33][34][35][36] This is an Standards for Higher Education. In a review of IL assessment, Walsh discovered that multiple choice questionnaires were by far the most popular evaluation method, followed by bibliography analysis, quizzes, self-assessment, portfolio/essay review, observation, and simulation.…”

ABSTRACT. This study measures how online library instructional tutorials implemented into an evidence-based practice course have impacted the information literacy skills of occupational and physical therapy graduate students. Through a rubric assessment of final course papers, this study compares differences in students' search strategies and cited sources pre-and postimplementation of the tutorials. The population includes 180 randomly selected graduate students from before and after the library tutorials were introduced into the course curriculum.Results indicate a statistically significant increase in components of students' searching skills and ability to find higher levels of evidence after completing the library tutorials.

“…Horsley et al, 2011 reviewed the evidence concerning critical appraisal skills training and concluded that teaching these skills to health professionals may improve their knowledge. 6 However, there is insufficient evidence to identify whether this translates into changes in the process of care or to changes in patient outcomes. 63 Other reviews identified the need to compare the benefits of critical appraisal skills training against the effects when similar amounts of time, effort, and money are spent directly on patient care.…”
