Abstract

This report is based on a meeting entitled 鈥淭he RHL and beyond: influencing policy and changing practice鈥�, held in Geneva on 28鈥�30 January 2004 under the auspices of the Department of Reproductive Health and Research of the World Health Organization. The meeting focused on ways of promoting evidence-based care in the area of pregnancy and childbirth, using the WHO Reproductive Health Library (RHL) as a source of systematic review evidence. Researchers and clinicians attending this meeting analysed various approaches and projects which had been implemented to promote the RHL as a tool for policy-making and practice change. The meeting reviewed the lessons learnt from such experiences and strove to determine how they could be used to inform future strategy.
